It is a huge opportunity to shape the future direction of our fundraising strategy, so if you are interested, we’d love to hear from you!

Carers UK is looking for an Account Executive to support the Income Generation and Communication team in delivering activities to maintain and grow significant income from Carers UK’s products and services, namely the Employers for Carers forum.  

This is a pivotal time for working carers as the Carer’s Leave Act becomes law, making it a statutory requirement for all employers to support unpaid carers by providing five days unpaid carers leave. We believe we have the platform to bring about change, as well as provide carers with the support they need.

About us

Carers UK’s vision is to create a society that recognises, values and supports carers. As the leading national charity for unpaid carers, we exist to make life better for carers, however caring affects them. Our support, advice, information and campaigning work are now needed more than ever, as unpaid carers are providing more and more care, adversely impacting on their own health and wellbeing.

Despite being a relatively small charity, we regularly punch above our weight. We have influenced almost every piece of legislation concerning carers over the past 60 years: from the first ever 1967 legal right for carers to the 2024 Carer’s Leave Act, whereby employers must provide five days unpaid leave to employees. Our Employers for Carers forum was hugely influential in the passing of the Act.

We now have an exciting opportunity for an Account Executive to join our team and build on this recent success. This is a pivotal time for working carers as the Carer’s Leave Act has become law, after years of campaigning by Carers UK. This means it is now a statutory requirement for all employers to support unpaid carers by giving five days unpaid carers leave. However, we realise that there are still many barriers facing working carers, so we are already campaigning for a further change in the law for this to become a week of paid leave.

About the role

Our best practice employer forum, Employers for Carers (EfC), works as a department of Carers UK and helps businesses create carer-friendly workplaces. With the change in employment law, now is an exciting time for our forum to grow in size and influence, ultimately helping millions more carers.

We are seeking a new business Account Executive to help grow the membership of Employers for Carers at this exciting time. While this role sits within the Income Generation and Communication directorate, it is not a fundraising role but focuses on selling our Employers for Carers product as earned income. As such, the successful candidate will meet with leading organisations to improve their workplace practices, engaging with HR and D&I teams.

What the job involves

As our Website Operations Producer, you’ll play a key role in the Customer Engagement and Experience Team, driving impactful digital projects that inspire positive change for men.

In this role, you’ll lead the end-to-end project journey—from initial briefs to launch and seamless handover for ongoing management. You’ll spearhead the development of various digital products, including website feature enhancements, infrastructure improvements, and new platform upgrades. You’ll shape strategic project roadmaps, making recommendations on project sequencing and prioritising resources for maximum impact.

You’ll work closely with internal teams to define the scope and requirements of each project, balancing user needs with our broader goals to deliver an outstanding digital experience. Acting as the primary liaison for external agencies, you’ll ensure they deliver high-quality work on time and within budget. From testing new features to conducting user acceptance testing, you’ll ensure every project meets user needs and is ready for a seamless deployment.

What we want from you

We’re seeking someone with excellent experience in managing web development projects using Agile/Scrum and Waterfall methodologies, and a solid grasp of the software development lifecycle. You’ll bring excellent communication skills, a high level of organisation, and meticulous attention to detail, along with a natural ability to build strong working relationships.

You’ll have the ability to understand and communicate complex technical information into clear, accessible language for non-technical audiences, while expertly managing multiple stakeholders and agency partnerships. Proficiency with project tools like Trello, Slack, and Google Docs is essential, along with experience in out-of-the-box CMS platforms like Umbraco and a readiness to learn bespoke systems. You’ll also have a solid background in website analytics.

Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.

Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.

Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.

Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion

At Prostate Cancer UK, we believe that equity, diversity and inclusion are essential to building a strong and innovative workplace, that represents, and can advocate for the communities we support. We stand against discrimination and prejudice, and we champion tolerance, fairness and equality in everything we do. This makes us stronger and helps us reach more people. We’re all here for the same reason: to give every man the power to navigate prostate cancer.

We're committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men who are at double risk. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.

Therefore, we’re particularly interested in applications from those from marginalised and vulnerable communities. This will help us create an environment of inclusion where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work, where personal qualities are as important as professional experience, and our people feel seen and heard.

Ways of working

Our hybrid working approach combines the best of flexible working – a positive work/life balance, inclusive and accessible platforms, and online information at our fingertips.
