Do you want to help us find effective treatments for PSC?
We are looking for a highly organised individual who can commit 15-20 hours over 3 to 5 days each week to support our Head of Research Strategy, Martine Walmsley.
One of PSC Support’s key goals is to advance PSC research to develop quick and accurate diagnoses and effective curative or preventative treatments for PSC and its complications. We do this by funding and supporting research, and working closely with leading researchers across the globe.
In the last 12 months alone, PSC Support has helped researchers secure over £14 million by supporting them with their research design and plans.
In the past decade we have funded 25 research grants and we currently serve on five research networks providing strong advocacy for people with PSC to name but a few of our research activities.
With so much happening, we need your help!
We’re looking for a dedicated volunteer with administrative skills to help Martine with this important work. Could this be you?
✔ Can you commit to volunteering 15–20 hours per week over 3–5 days?
✔ Are you highly organised with great attention to detail
✔ Would you like to be part of a highly motivated, supportive and friendly team working at the forefront of PSC research?
If so, we’d love to hear from you! Your support could directly help with our quest to see a world without PSC.
