About us

We’re Breast Cancer Now, the research and support charity. We’re the place to turn to for anything and everything to do with breast cancer. However, you’re experiencing breast cancer, we’re here.

The brightest minds in breast cancer research are here. Making life-saving research happen in labs across the UK and Ireland. Support services, trustworthy breast cancer information and specialist nurses are here. Ready to support you whenever you need it. Dedicated campaigners are here. Fighting for the best possible treatment, services and care for anyone affected by breast cancer.

About the role

This role will help to drive forward the public health, inclusion, and awareness team’s work across the UK, which is to empower patients and the public to play a full role in managing their own risk of getting breast cancer, diagnosing breast cancer earlier and improving their quality of life after a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, thereby reducing the risk of recurrence.

You’ll work closely with the public health, inclusion and awareness manager to support the growth and expansion of a public health talks programme, leading on public health talks coordination. The programme is delivered through trained volunteers who are spread across the UK.

Your role will consist of coordination between individuals and organisations enquiring about booking public health talks as well as supporting with drop-in sessions for volunteers. You’ll also support the manager to update resources, action feedback from stakeholders and work with other teams within the charity such as volunteering. You’ll support with day-to-day tasks to ensure the smooth running of the wider public health, inclusion and awareness team.

This role involves frequent communication with a range of people through email, telephone and over Microsoft teams. You’ll use our database (Unity) to log all communications and to keep track of talks progress. Our database also tracks volunteer training and availability. Alongside our database, our volunteer portal allows you to interact with all the public health volunteers at once for events, online talks and resources.

About you

You’ll be highly organised, able to manage priorities and seeing projects through to completion, while working independently. You’ll have solid customer service or stakeholder engagement experience. As an excellent communicator, you’ll handle issues sensitively from the public or your colleagues. Additionally, you’ll have strong IT skills, with experience with databases and GDPR or compliance.

You’ll also work collaboratively and promote equality, diversity and inclusion across your work.

Ideally, you’ll have worked with volunteers before and have worked in the charity sector. You’d have some knowledge of breast cancer or a willingness to learn.
