What the job involves 

Join our dynamic People and Culture team as Head of People - Learning, Engagement, and Experience! In this strategic role, you'll provide leadership across Prostate Cancer UK, focusing on people and volunteer experience with a people-centred approach. You'll help develop and deliver inclusive, dynamic people development and culture strategies to drive employee engagement, upskill our people, and manage internal and volunteer communications, ensuring our continued growth.

You'll lead teams specialising in learning, engagement, and volunteer experience. You'll develop and ensure the successful implementation of a learning and development strategy that aligns with the strategic and operational capability needs of the charity. You'll design and deliver a series of interventions that develop our senior leaders, colleagues, and volunteers, enhancing our capability to deliver our strategy. You'll continuously review and evaluate People Experience and Culture activities to ensure they remain relevant to changing organisational needs and are aligned with other support functions and operational strategies.

Directing the development and implementation of a strategic internal communications plan, you’ll ensure all colleagues and volunteers are connected to our work, reinforcing our values and culture. You'll own the cycle of gaining feedback from colleagues and volunteers and drive the action planning process to ensure that progress and improvements are achieved.

Working across Directorates, you'll ensure a consistent people and volunteer experience. You'll guide the design and management of systems and processes that deliver a great experience, ensuring all interventions are measured and evaluated effectively, building learning into subsequent activities.

You'll coach and develop your team to achieve fantastic results and progress their skills and capabilities. Additionally, you'll build strong collaborative working relationships across our senior leadership team and work with an in-depth network of external suppliers and partners to support the delivery of our work. 

What we want from you 

An experienced people leader, you’ll have a proven track record of developing and delivering impactful People Experience and Culture strategies, including learning and leadership development interventions, ideally within the charity or not-for-profit sector. You're both a strategic and operational thinker and leader, able to articulate clear aims and rationale to shape longer-term plans and see them through to operational delivery.

With experience in leading strategic internal communications, you're attuned to the changing world around us and understand how this could enhance or derail our People strategies. Passionate about organisational development, you’ll have a solid understanding of the employee lifecycle and can demonstrate your contribution to developing culture and improving people experience as well as volunteer experience interventions.

Your exceptional interpersonal and communication skills allow you to operate and manage comfortably in a multicultural and multistakeholder organisation. As a natural relationship builder, you’ll work collaboratively, balancing operational and strategic responsibilities. You're also at ease presenting to the Leadership Team or the Board. You're someone who easily connects with people from a range of backgrounds, putting our people at the heart of everything you and your team do.

Ideally, you hold a recognised qualification in organisational development, learning and development, or human resources (CIPD), or an Internal Communications accreditation (IoIC accredited Diploma or CIPR diploma), or equivalent work experience.

These are the skills and types of experience you’ll need for this role – but we know skills and experience can be developed. If you think you can do most of this, and are excited by our work, we want to hear from you. 

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.

It’s our ambition to become an anti-racist organisation, and our mission to advance racial equity in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.

We’re continuously learning more about the needs of our colleagues, and have three amazing People Networks, sponsored by our Leadership team: Pride, Mind & Body and Multicultural.

Location: Hybrid working – 2/3 days a week in office in London, SW10 9HS.

Salary: £45,000-50,000 per annum

Contract: Permanent. Full-time hours

CW+, the official charity of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, is seeking an experienced and ambitious individual to shape and develop a portfolio of circa 80 donors and prospects and seek new potential donors to support their work.

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is one of the top ranked and top performing healthcare Trusts in the UK, providing care to a community of over one million people across two hospital sites and twelve community clinics. The Trust is the fourth largest A&E provider in the UK, treating over 300,000 patients each year.

Over the last six years CW+ has grown its fundraising programme extensively and is now seeking a Philanthropy Manager to join their team at a crucial stage in their Thirty at Thirty major appeal – its ambitious programme to raise £30m to celebrate the Trust’s 30th birthday. This will be the largest fundraising drive in the charity’s history and a successful, effective team will be central to its success.

The role will be responsible for cultivating and securing gifts from existing and new high-value donors, with a focus on securing five and six figure donations.  The post-holder will initiate, foster and develop rich, long-term relationships with donors capable of giving transformational support to CW+ and develop and grow the current major giving pipeline and portfolio of major gifts from high net worth individuals.

As the portfolio is mixed in its development, it is important that this post holder can work with tenacity and resilience in an ever evolving landscape of relationships and opportunities, in close collaboration with the Chief Executive and the Director of Fundraising. The successful candidate must have a positive, pro-active, donor-centric approach to relationship fundraising and demonstrate proven success at securing major gift support from individuals and family trusts/foundations. Alongside excellent relationship and communication skills, candidates must be confident, resourceful and proactive, with initiative and a problem-solving disposition.

Please note there is no closing date for this position – applications will be assessed as they come in and the role closed once the suitable candidate has been identified.
