PCT Services Manager

Salary: £30,598 (NJC Scale point PO38, cost of living increase pending), plus outer fringe weighting and pension.

Tuberculosis has been on the increase in the UK for twenty years, with more new diagnosed cases in 2005 than either HIV or Hepatitis C. TB Alert, the UK’s national tuberculosis charity, has been working for several years to increase the profile of the disease and is now looking to expand its UK work in a major project to raise awareness among vulnerable groups. As part of this project, we are establishing a new post to establish relationships with Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) in England and provide them with locally appropriate materials to carry out awareness campaigns.

We need someone to build effective, income generating relationships with PCT commissioners, to promote and disseminate TB awareness materials and to identify and build strategic partnerships with the appropriate departments within PCTs, encouraging and helping them to undertake campaigns to raise awareness of TB within the general public and particularly vulnerable groups.

Our UK office is in Brighton, although some degree of home-working could be agreed if you have appropriate IT resources.
