About working for us

This is a fast-paced and growing organisation that is really committed to making a difference. Being a part of our team is being part of a thriving, positive, dynamic, successful, and welcoming community that is making an impact. We will support you and develop you should you wish this, and you get the opportunity to be involved in activities outside the scope of your immediate role. We care about your health and well-being and your work-life balance, and you will feel that your contribution is valued and matters.

About us 

Pancreatic cancer is a tough one but we're taking it on. It is tough to diagnose, tough to treat, and tough to research. For too long this disease has been side-lined. We want to make sure that everyone affected by it gets all the help they need. Together we are taking on pancreatic cancer. Underpinning this vision are our three values:

· Courageous

· Collaborative

· Compassion

We cannot achieve our vision without employing people who are committed to our vision, strategy, and values.

At PCUK our ambition is to create an inclusive working environment that reflects the communities and audiences that we engage with and where everyone can be their true selves, where they feel respected, championed, heard, and supported.  We want our workforce to achieve their potential, understand their contribution and feel proud of their impact by creating a culture and organisation that is genuinely inclusive by advancing equality, diversity, inclusion, and belonging through our policies and practices.

We believe diversity drives great outcomes by encouraging the different points of view that come from a diverse workforce. We want to hear from and engage with people whose experience of dealing with this disease may be very different depending on their individual circumstances and backgrounds. We can think of no better way to do this than by making sure this role fully represents our intent; therefore, we are especially keen to consider applications from suitable applicants who consider themselves to be in areas that appear underrepresented within the charity sector.

About Ahoy

We are a charity that changes people’s lives and builds life skills through sailing, rowing, powerboating and other activities on and off the water.

We attract young people and adults from our local community working in partnership with schools, youth groups and other community organisations. Often our users are from marginalised groups who wouldn’t normally be able to access sailing, rowing or other water-based activities.

Working for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity offers you a challenging and rewarding career, as well as the chance to change the lives of those living with cancer.

As Events Executive you will support the Events Manager (Cultivation) with a range of events, used to engage and steward existing supporters and attract new donors. You will support the Senior Events Manager to deliver the Ever After Garden, our illuminated in memory rose garden that takes place each winter, and work with the Individual Giving team to deliver their annual Celebrate a Life events at both our Sutton and Chelsea hospitals.

This is an opportune time to join The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity as we embark on our exciting new event strategy to fund the world-leading work of The Royal Marsden. We are a high-performing team, and this role presents an exciting opportunity to play a vital part in helping us to realise our ambition whilst developing your career within an ambitious organisation.
