Hybrid working – split between our central Liverpool office, home and client venues

We’re looking for someone great to join our growing team of Designers and Doers. You’ll be working with brilliant clients across Liverpool City Region and Cheshire to shape the future of public services in the region.

If you share our values and our enthusiasm for making public services people services, we’d love to hear from you.

The Details 

This job is all about working with the local third and public sector to engage with local people to create change. To make this happen the role has three key bits to it:

• listening to what local people want (gathering the insights)

• building a vision for a ‘better way of doing things’ (planning to make change)

• getting stuck in to support our clients and wider team to make things happen (doing the stuff we’ve planned).

Each day you’ll be shaping and delivering Capacity’s current and future projects, managing expectations, excitement, and priorities – keeping a smile on your face and a spring in your step. Even on the busiest of days our Designers and Doers remind themselves why they’re in it, finding the get-up and go to make public services, people services.

The to-do lists you write and the skillsets you engage will vary hugely, one day you might be working on recruitment strategies for social workers, the next on service design for family early help, another strategy planning for a primary care team. When job descriptions say ‘no day is the same’ that can often feel twee, at Capacity – it’s a promise.

You’ll spend your time being proactive – delivering on our promises to clients and local people, whilst staying ready to catch any ‘off-project’ work that might need sorting along the way. You’ll support us to get new clients on board but also play a key role further engaging our existing ones, making sure they continue to feel connected to Capacity and proud to be involved in the work we’re doing.

The projects we deliver are often complex and things won’t always work out. For that reason, you’ll be open and honest about what’s working, what isn’t and where you might need extra support. If you’re considering this role, it’s really important you aren’t afraid of making mistakes or asking for help.

What We Need 

A great writer and listener, you’re keen to learn about other people’s lives and what they need for a better future. You can manage a diverse and ever-changing workload, set your own priorities and use your initiative, staying strong when things don’t always go to plan. You can use service design and/or organisational development approaches to support client needs and have a proven track record of working with a range of different people, developing strong and positive relationships.

Responsible to: Workplace Wellbeing Training Lead

Location: Remote from home (or a mix of office and home if local to Lancashire) – travel to Lancashire will be required for around 6 days per year to attend in person team days, therefore, the candidate must be UK based.

Do you want to join an organisation who are passionate about improving mental health and wellbeing for Lancashire communities? 

This is an exciting new role, helping Lancashire Mind develop and expand their Learning Management System (LMS) to support development of their own eLearning products and that of their LMS tenants.

You will work closely with the existing team to create interactive learning experiences to support professionals and members of the community learn more about how to support their own wellbeing and the wellbeing of others.

We are looking for someone who is keen to build relationships with partner organisations and local businesses to understand their needs and develop Moodle products themed around the needs of their teams, which will include emotional wellbeing and mental health. You will be working closely with Lancashire Mind team members; therefore, knowledge of mental health and wellbeing is not essential.

We also offer a workplace pension scheme, paid emergency time off to care for dependents, regular supervision, and a commitment to supporting learning and development opportunities. We have also recently enhanced our annual leave offer with basic annual leave of 25 days, plus 3 days closure between Xmas and new year, long service leave, the option to buy or sell annual leave and a half-day wellbeing day for all staff.

Above all, we are a friendly and supportive place to work; ‘Great staff team, positive and supportive culture’ (Lancashire Mind wellbeing survey, March 2024)

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.
