WELCOME LETTER
Imagine being told that you, or someone you love, is losing their sight. In that moment, two profound questions demand urgent answers:

We find and fund the brilliant minds and bright ideas that put change in sight.
Our researchers are at the forefront, making breakthroughs and discoveries that will prevent, treat and cure eye disease. The partnerships we build, and initiatives we support change lives for blind and vision impaired people.
We are Fight for Sight: we won’t stop until we Save Sight. Change Lives.
Everyone who works for us is helping deliver this ambitious vision:
- Our grants team administers funds to the brightest researchers across the UK, advancing understanding, diagnosis, prevention and treatments for eye disease.
- We are funding innovative projects that build connections, reduce loneliness, and improve the lives of people who are blind, and vision impaired throughout the UK.
- Fundraisers work tirelessly to raise money to ensure we can reach our goal of investing over £20 million in scientific research and social change over this strategy period.
- The staff and volunteers within our preloved stores are driving donations and sales to spark breakthroughs that will put change in sight.

CCLG is the UK and Ireland’s professional membership association for all health professionals working in paediatric oncology or teenage and young adult oncology. We are also a leading charity and expert voice for children and young people with cancer. One of our key charitable objectives is funding and supporting research.
It is an exciting time to join CCLG as we begin developing our strategy for the next five years. We will also be launching a new research strategy later this year, which focuses on our dual role as both a funder of research and a key strategic player in this field, setting the broader research direction for the children and young people’s cancer sector through projects like our Children’s Cancer Priority Setting Partnership and our research strategy groups, which set the direction for clinical research in the UK.
This new role will be responsible for the implementation and delivery of key objectives in our new research strategy, including supporting our research strategy groups, early career researcher network, and key research events.
We're looking for someone with admin or project coordination experience, preferably in a medical research charity, University, research organisation or similar. Knowledge of charity medical research funding, and how it works, is desirable but not essential. This would be an ideal role for someone looking to develop their career in the charity sector, particularly in health or medical research.
Our work
Each week in the UK and Ireland, more than 30 children are diagnosed with cancer. Our network of dedicated professional members work together in treatment, care and research to help shape a future where all children with cancer survive and live happy, healthy and independent lives.
We fund and support innovative world-class research and collaborate, both nationally and internationally, to drive forward improvements in childhood cancer. Our award-winning information resources help lessen the anxiety, stress and loneliness commonly felt by families, giving support throughout the cancer journey.
We are a registered charity and fundraise for our important activities through campaigns, donations and family involvement.
Main purpose of the job
This role will be responsible for providing a range of support, including administrative support, and coordinating activities across our research programme. You’ll provide support to a range of activities including our Research Strategy Groups, research networks, lived experience engagement in research, and our research funding processes. This is a flexible and varied role, and you’ll be a key member of a small team making a big impact.
