Would you like to support Blood Cancer UK to identify, research and secure high value corporate partnerships that will help beat blood cancer? Then this role is for you.  

Now is an exciting time to join the corporate partnerships team at Blood Cancer UK. We have spent the last two years building and cultivating our pipeline and have seen exciting wins as a result of this work, raising over £5million from the insurance sector.

The school holds a triple crown accreditation having AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS as well as other accreditations such as Small Business Charter and Bronze Athena Swan Award.
