Opportunity for an Experienced Finance Business Partner
We have an opportunity for an experienced Finance Business Partner to join Our Future Health and support our Business Development teams across commercial and philanthropic income.
About Our Future Health
Our Future Health is the UK's largest ever health research programme, bringing people together to develop new ways to detect, prevent and treat diseases. We are a charity, supported by the UK Government, in partnership with charities and industry. We work closely with the NHS and with public authorities across all nations and regions of the UK.
Despite significant improvements in healthcare, millions of people in the UK still live in poor health as they get older. Our goal is to create a world-leading resource for health research, helping us understand how and why common diseases start so that treatments can begin sooner and be more effective.
Our plan is to bring together 5 million volunteers from across the UK who will contribute information to help build one of the most detailed pictures we have ever had of people's health. Researchers will be able to use this information to make new discoveries about human health and disease, helping future generations live in good health for longer.
