You will also help run online support groups for people impacted by lung cancer, ensuring they have the tools and support needed to navigate their journey with confidence.

• Ability to build relationships across a diverse range of stakeholders, internally and externally.
• Ability to provide education to the community and health professionals on lung cancer and LFA services/programs.
