This is an exciting time to join our client as they capitalise on the growth of the charity during the pandemic and plan to invite applications for further dedicated Centres of Excellence to bring them closer to the cure that the underfunded and devastating disease area of Brain Tumours so desperately longs for.

The charity is strengthening the leadership team with the introduction of a Director of Research, Policy, and Innovation, to drive forward their manifesto for change: building capacity, accelerating treatments, and increasing the national investment in brain tumour research. They wish to recruit an experienced, energetic, professional, hard-working, and hands-on individual to join the busy team and lead the development and implementation of the research and policy strategies including the establishment of further Centres with a call planned in Summer 2022.

The Director of Research, Policy and Innovation will look to significantly improve outcomes for patients within the next five to ten years, with the aim of ultimately finding a cure by:

  • Building on, developing, and implementing the research strategy of this charity including ensuring delivery of centre programmes of research and communicating research information to supporters and other stakeholders in an audience appropriate way.
  • Taking an influential and leading role in making the UK a World Leader in neuro-oncology research and drug development, increasing the national investment in brain tumour research, working with collaborators, the government, policy makers and larger cancer charities as well as the biotech and pharmaceutical industry, to accelerate bringing new treatments to market.

Building on the success that the charity has had with establishing four centres and their campaigning work they are looking for someone with proven experience that will take the charity to the next level.

Help them fund the fight. Together we will find a cure.
