Do you have personal experience of pulmonary fibrosis and want to use your voice to shape change? Or are you a healthcare professional who wants to use your expertise to create real, national impact?

Two trustee vacancies. Expenses paid.

Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis (APF) is the UK’s leading charity for people affected by pulmonary fibrosis. We are looking for a Trustee with lived experience to join our Board and help ensure the voices of patients, families and carers are at the heart of everything we do.

We recognise that living with pulmonary fibrosis can be challenging. We are committed to supporting Trustees in a way that works for them, including options to join meetings remotely where needed.

Why join APF?

Pulmonary fibrosis brings complex and often challenging experiences for individuals and those around them. At APF, we work to improve support, drive research, and influence policy and care so that people affected by pulmonary fibrosis are better supported at every stage of their journey.

As a Trustee, you will help ensure that lived experience shapes our decisions, priorities and culture, influencing how we design services, set direction and deliver meaningful change.

Clients looking for a PA can ask PCVS to assist with recruitment. Available jobs are posted as and when they arise. You must be a registered PA and log in to the PCVS website to access these jobs.
