About Working for Us
This is a fast-paced and growing organisation that is really committed to making a difference. Being a part of our team is being
part of a thriving, positive, dynamic, successful, and welcoming community that is making an impact. We will support you and
develop you should you wish this, and you get the opportunity to be involved in activities outside the scope of your immediate
role. We care about your health and well-being and your work-life balance, and you will feel that your contribution is valued and
matters.
About Us
Pancreatic cancer is a tough one but we're taking it on. It is tough to diagnose, tough to treat, and tough to research. For too
long this disease has been side-lined. We want to make sure that everyone affected by it gets all the help they need. Together we
are taking on pancreatic cancer. Underpinning this vision are our three values:
-Courageous
-Collaborative
-Compassion
We cannot achieve our vision without employing people who are committed to our vision, strategy, and values.
At PCUK our ambition is to create an inclusive working environment that reflects the communities and audiences that we engage with
and where everyone can be their true selves, where they feel respected, championed, heard, and supported. We want our workforce
to achieve their potential, understand their contribution and feel proud of their impact by creating a culture and organisation
that is genuinely inclusive by advancing equality, diversity, inclusion, and belonging through our policies and practices.
We believe diversity drives great outcomes by encouraging the different points of view that come from a diverse workforce. We want
to hear from and engage with people whose experience of dealing with this disease may be very different depending on their
individual circumstances and background. We can think of no better way to do this than by making sure this role fully represents
our intent, therefore we are especially keen to consider applications from suitable applicants who consider themselves to be in
areas that appear underrepresented within the charity sector.
How to apply
* You can download the Job Description and Person Specification for full details of the role. If you have any questions about
this role that we’ve not answered, please get in touch with Charlotte Lynch at charlotte.lynch@pancreaticcancer.org.uk.
* To apply, please complete the online application form, setting out why you are interested in the role and how you meet the
person specification criteria. This information will be used to select candidates for interviews.
* You will need to have the right to work in the UK as we are not able to provide sponsorship for this role.
* Please note that interviews will be held in person at our office - Queen Elizabeth House, 4 St Dunstan’s Hill, London EC3R
8AD - on 15th and 16th July 2024.
No agencies/sales call please – as a charity we work hard to keep our costs down and therefore will not be engaging agencies to
support this recruitment.
