Our passionate community of staff, volunteers, researchers, ambassadors, and patients work together to turn ground-breaking research into life-changing treatments. As chief operating officer, you will be at the centre of this, ensuring that the ‘engine’ of Kidney Research UK operates at peak efficiency and that we capitalise on opportunities to innovate so we can do even more to change lives.
