* You will be responsible for managing key stakeholders in the grant funding process, including applicants, award holders and
committee members to organise key events.
* You will be liaising with researchers and people with lived experience of pancreatic cancer to coordinate meaningful internal

About You
* You will need sound knowledge of research principles and the UK research funding environment.
* Experience of working in a scientific or clinical research context with an undergraduate degree, preferably with a biomedical
focus.
* An understanding of patient and public involvement and how to converse with people affected by pancreatic cancer.
* An ability to build relationships and coordinate working with many large and diverse specialist stakeholder groups.
If this sounds like you – we’d love to hear from you!
About working for us
This is a fast-paced organisation that is 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:
* Courage
* Community
* Compassion
We cannot achieve our vision without employing people who are committed to our vision, strategy, and values.
At Pancreatic Cancer UK 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.
Safeguarding
Pancreatic Cancer UK is committed to safe and fair recruitment processes that safeguard and protect those we work with, support
and serve. We make sure all our staff are selected, vetted (DBS/Criminal record checks where appropriate), trained, and supervised
fairly and to a high standard so that they can provide safe, effective and compassionate care. Where we work with volunteers, we
extend the same support in order to ensure that they are working within our ethos and standards.

high number of suitable applications, please apply early to avoid disappointment.
* 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 on 2nd and 3rd July 2025.
No agencies/sales call please – as a charity we work hard to keep our costs down and therefore will not be engaging agencies to
