Come and make a difference at Asthma UK.

There is nothing as terrifying as the feeling of not being able to breathe or watching helplessly as a loved one struggles for breath. Although asthma affects 1 in 5 households in the UK it is, mistakenly, seen to be 'sorted'. It's not. In the UK today, every 10 seconds someone has a potentially fatal asthma attack. Every day the lives of three families are devastated by the death of a loved one to an asthma attack. Tragically, the majority of these could be prevented right now with the right basic care. Others still suffer with asthma so severe current treatments don't work. This has to change. That's why Asthma UK exists.

What does the role involve?

We believe asthma care can be transformed by technology, revolutionising how people manage their asthma and increasing the likelihood that they can live well with the condition.

As Asthma UK push for a digital transformation of asthma management, our Senior Policy Officer - Technology and Digital will lead on our work with key influencers in the health tech landscape. This role is a brilliant opportunity to develop your career in health technology, gather new skills in policy and influencing, and gain experience in an ambitious organisation.

This is a great place to work!

With around 80 people, we are a tight team working together to stop asthma attacks and cure asthma. Our recent staff survey shows that alongside having a high-performance culture, Asthma UK is probably the friendliest place most people have worked, with great opportunities for development. So, if you want to make sure that data, technology and digital solutions are at the heart of asthma management, we want to hear from you.
