£25,643 per annum (London Living Wage)

Permanent, full-time (37.5 hours per week)

Hybrid working with regular travel to our London Bridge Office

What the job involves

The Policy and Health Influencing teams are responsible for using clinical data and evidence to shape what the organisation thinks and to develop solutions that drive change for men with and at risk of prostate cancer.

This means working with clinicians, patients and stakeholders to interpret the latest changes in prostate cancer research, care, support and treatment which will help shape our strategic direction and activities.

As the Policy and Health Influencing Coordinator, you're key to supporting these teams.

You'll have a varied and far-reaching portfolio of work and sometimes arranging important stakeholder events and meetings ensuring we're hearing from people who've been through prostate cancer themselves.

You'll also help share our work on social media and capturing the outcomes of our external engagement.

In this role you'll assist us in keeping track of and evaluating our progress in line with our organisational strategy, as well as keeping an eye on trends in the wider cancer and health landscape and reporting on them.

Plus, you'll handle budget matters and make sure we have effective budget monitoring mechanisms in place.

What we want from you

We're looking for a Coordinator who is highly organised, an effective communicator and know how to adapt and effectively prioritise your time.

You'll have excellent coordination skills and can organise others too (especially teams which are based across the UK) and have experience of creating and updating forward planners, project schedules and streamlining team processes.

You'll be able to comfortably engage with senior managers and a breadth of external senior level stakeholders. Regularly taking the initiative to drive improvements so that the teams you support can operate efficiently.

With skills in collecting and utilising data to monitor, trend, and report on activity, you're proactive in acting on the results.

You'll have some experience or interest in working in the health or volunteer sector.

You're also quick to learn and capable at picking up new systems including those for budget management and products' fulfilment.

Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men - prostate cancer. It's a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.

Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men's health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition - to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care.

We're blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk.

And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.

Work with us and you'll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.

Join our team and be part of an award-winning charity. We'll support you to develop your skills and expertise.

We offer a competitive benefits package, including:

Generous leave entitlements that increase with service
One 'development day' a month to use for training or personal development
Enhanced contributory pension scheme
Life insurance and group income protection
Health Cash Plan
Life and wellbeing advice and support via our Employee Assistance Programme

Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion

At Prostate Cancer UK, we believe that equity, diversity and inclusion are essential to building a strong and innovative workplace, that represents, and can advocate for, the communities we support.

It's our ambition to become an anti-racist organisation, and our mission to advance racial equity in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
