Bowel Cancer UK is the UK's leading bowel cancer charity. We're determined to save lives and improve the quality of life of everyone affected by bowel cancer. We support and fund targeted research, provide expert information and support to patients and their families, educate the public and professionals about the disease and campaign for early diagnosis and access to best treatment and care.

We currently have around 90 staff based in England, Wales Scotland and Northern Ireland. 

Thanks to the generosity of our community, we’re in a privileged position to be able to grow our staff team to deliver our ambitious new strategy, which will be launching in the spring. There are huge challenges facing bowel cancer patients across the UK, and our community needs us now more than ever. We’re building a strong and united team to bring us closer to a world where nobody dies of bowel cancer.

A key focus of our strategy is to reach and engage with as many people as possible, affected by and at risk of bowel cancer, by embedding our information and support services within NHS diagnostic, treatment, and care pathways. As Senior Education Officer you will play a central role in helping us achieve this, by developing education opportunities and establishing relationships with primary care health professionals. You will support education events, requiring regular travel to London and around the UK.

Safeguarding:

 Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and at Bowel Cancer UK we are committed to safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Successful candidates may be subject to either a satisfactory basic or enhanced disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) dependent upon the role.

Can you see yourself creating and nurturing a network of informed and engaged volunteers? Imagine being their main go-to for info and guidance on their volunteer journey. Can you connect with these awesome people and help them shine?

As part of a team across the East Midlands you will manage an existing cohort of approximately 75 active volunteers providing dedicated support in their work helping their mentees secure outcomes including personal development, jobs and self-employment.

Are you excited about providing volunteers with consistently stellar service that inspires them to make a real difference in young people's lives, and are you ready to empower them for incredibly positive outcomes? Picture yourself leading and supporting a group of volunteers. You'll use our CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and your connections with fellow team members to link up with opportunities that support young people and our programmes.

We're all about keeping things in tip-top shape so can you dive into the detail and keep things running smoothly, like accurately tracking, recording, and keeping tabs on volunteer activity? And can you encourage volunteers to do their part by keeping our systems up to scratch, ensuring we're always on the ball with core vetting and training requirements?

As well as the serious stuff, we're big on showing love to our volunteers! Our volunteers are exceptional individuals driven by a deep passion to ensure the success of the young people they mentor. You'll collaborate with volunteers from various backgrounds, each bringing a rich tapestry of skills to support a young person's journey. As part of the role, you will be expected to host some memory making events around the East Midlands area in our partner offices with volunteers and our young people. You will work closely with colleagues, delivery partners, and external stakeholders to enhance volunteer opportunities and strengthen our volunteer network. Can you help us expand?

At The Trust, we're strong advocates for fostering an inclusive workplace, and it would be fantastic if you share that passion too. We hope you’ll encourage positive action and change while supporting volunteers from all walks of life.

Ready for the challenge? Be prepared for a little bit of everything, you might find yourself wearing different hats and stepping up when needed. Ready to dive into this adventure with us?
