Job description

**About LUPUS UK**

LUPUS UK is the only registered national charity supporting people affected by the autoimmune disease lupus and assisting those approaching a diagnosis.

Our vision is for a world where people with lupus can live full and active lives.
- “I learned almost everything I know about lupus from LUPUS UK and that knowledge gave me the confidence to get control back in my life and do almost everything I used to be able to do including running. It also helped my husband, family and employer to know what lupus is and how we can make life work together.” - _Testimonial

- Excellent interpersonal and networking skills, able to influence a diverse range of stakeholders and facilitate strong relationships with people inside and outside the charity.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate effectively in a wide range of media and audiences.
- Someone who is highly organised, able to balance tasks, manage competing priorities and work to deadlines.
- Motivation to improve inclusion and representation of our diverse community throughout the organisation.
- Someone who is self-motivated with a pro-active approach to problem solving.
- The ability to display patience, resilience, and optimism in the face of periodic pressure.
