Throughout all the weekly activities and sessions, our prayer is that each young person would know their Creator, find a space to belong and find joy in the community we have here.

As a Direct Marketing Executive, you’ll use a range of channel content to reach and meet the needs of your audience and tailor your approach based on audience insight.

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.

Comradeship and sense of community are among the key elements of the health and wellbeing package enjoyed by residents of the Royal Hospital Chelsea – the Chelsea Pensioners.  Our Veteran’s Outreach programme launched in late 2022 with the aim of extending this offer to the wider veterans’ community in the Greater London region and we have successfully built our own network of older veterans from all three services who, as ‘Out Pensioners’, regularly attend events, activities and Drop Ins at the Royal Hospital Chelsea. We seek to expand our programme beyond Greater London and will start by focusing on the 8 counties of the Southeast region as a pilot scheme which, in due course, we intend to duplicate in other regions.

The Regional Veterans Outreach Officer is vital to bring our expansion plans to fruition.

The ideal candidate will be selfless, service orientated, full of enthusiasm and initiative, and equipped with the people skills that will make you a natural networker and a hit with our older veteran community. Experience of the Armed Forces community and/or working with older people will be highly advantageous and you will be expected to be familiar with the region in which you will be working. Experience of managing volunteers is also desirable. You will thrive on a high degree of autonomy and making a positive impact on the veterans we support.

The post holder will be expected to travel extensively around the South East region, including overnight stays. A clean, full driving licence is essential. The successful candidate will require Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) clearance.
