Hours: The group meets every month on a Thursday, usually the first Thursday.
Our Living with Secondary Breast Cancer groups meet 11am to 1pm, with a slightly longer meeting each quarter (11am to 1.30pm) when an expert speaker presents on a relevant topic.
Our groups are usually held in hospitality or community venues in the town or city centre.
Pay: We offer flat fees for work undertaken delivering our services as listed below:
<ul>
<li>£135 for facilitating a 2 hour group session</li>
<li>£155 for facilitating a quarterly 2.5 hour speaker session</li>
<li>£16 admin fee per session</li>
<li>Additional fees for attending training and meetings or facilitating a larger annual information event.</li>
</ul>
We do not provide expenses or any fee for travel time or costs. However, we do reimburse car parking costs, if applicable, at the venue the group is held.
The role
We are currently looking for an experienced facilitator with a counselling qualification (minimum Level 4 diploma) to deliver our Living with Secondary Breast Cancer (LWSBC) group in Romford.
Our LWSBC groups offer support and information to anyone living with a diagnosis of secondary (metastatic) breast cancer. The groups offer a safe space where people can come to talk freely and share experiences and mutual support with others who understand, away from friends and family. They are not therapeutic support groups in the traditional sense but are delivered in accordance with our UK-Wide service model, developed and tested for over 10 years.
You’ll be responsible for facilitating the groups, drawing upon your therapeutic skills as required. Ensuring all attendees are given time to share and supported to take part in discussion, including around challenging topics affecting this patient group such as end of life. You’ll work independently in your region, with sole responsibility for facilitating each group, liaising with venue staff as required. You’ll act as an ambassador for Breast Cancer Now, promoting our charitable aims and building professional relationships with healthcare professionals who attend.
This is offered as a contract for services position and as such the appointed contractor would not be an employee of Breast Cancer Now but a self-employed individual. We require all contractors to adhere to and follow Breast Cancer Now applicable policies and procedures and to undertake some mandatory training in core subjects such as data protection and cyber security. A satisfactory criminal record check will be required.
About you
You’ll have a counselling qualification and experience of facilitating groups, preferably ongoing support groups for people affected by cancer or a life-limiting long-term condition, or other vulnerable/sensitive group. You’ll have a warm and approachable manner, able to communicate sensitively with people facing difficult challenges. You’ll be confident using your own initiative and dealing with unforeseen challenges when working alone and be able to travel to facilitate the group in person from your home address.
About us
We’re Breast Cancer Now, the charity that’s steered by world-class research and powered by life-changing care. We’re here for anyone affected by breast cancer, the whole way through, providing support for today and hope for the future.
We’re that trusted friend that people affected by breast cancer turn to for caring support when they need it most. The expert authority on breast cancer research who is making breakthroughs and driving forward progress. And a vehicle for change, acting now to make sure anyone affected by breast cancer gets the best possible treatment and care.
We believe that we can change the future of breast cancer and make sure that, by 2050, everyone diagnosed with the disease lives – and is supported to live well. But we need to act now.
How to apply
Please submit an online application form via the link provided.
Closing date: Monday 21 July 2025 at 12.00pm

</ul>





CDS is a unique organisation with a special mission – to provide, support and promote co-operative and community-led housing to see more people living and working in co-operative ways. We are a registered provider of social housing, a managing agent for financial and housing management services to small landlords and we are innovating ways to make community-led housing more widespread in England.
This is a great time to join the Board at CDS. We are unique in the housing sector with our mission to provide, support and grow co-op and community-led housing. At the same time our organisation, like so many others, is grappling with a widening gap between income and costs with the pressure of higher building safety, decent homes and environmental standards added to the general economic forecast for high inflation and market volatility. But we’re also changing and growing in exciting ways: we are launching the first technology-driven, Procurement Act-complaint repairs and planned maintenance framework of its kind; we are creating a new impactful investment vehicle to provide private renters fair, resident controlled homes; and we have established the ground-breaking Co-operation in Social Housing Commission, working with the London School of Economics and others to transform the relationship between landlords and local communities. To help us boldly navigate these challenges and opportunities, we are looking for a new board member who will help us hold fast to our mission and our ambition for cooperation and community-led housing whilst being realistic and determined in how we apply our resources to the task.
This board member will also serve on our Finance, Audit &amp; Risk Committee, scrutinising and overseeing our annual budget, thirty-year business plan, internal audit programme, strategic risk register and other vitally important aspects of CDS’s governance and overall management.
We are committed to continuing to improve our practice around Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. We encourage applications from all, but especially from people who identify as Black, Asian or minority ethnic, LGBTQ or disabled, with lived experience of inequality.
Commitment
Our Board has four scheduled board meetings each year. These take place in the evening (currently starting at 5pm) at our offices that are a 10-minute walk from London Bridge station in Central London. We also hold an annual strategy day in person and Finance, Audit &amp; Risk Committee meetings are held online quarterly. Whilst we provide an induction and periodic training to Board members, all Board members are expected to ensure they understand our business and to prepare for these meetings by reading, researching and questioning. There may be other opportunities or needs for additional meetings, joining a task-and-finish group or other board responsibilities that may arise.
The appointment
Board appointments are generally a three-year term that can be renewed for a total maximum of six years.
Closing date:&nbsp;Monday, 28th July 2025 at 8am
Interviews:&nbsp;Wednesday, 13th August 2025 (in person at our Central London offices)
