You'll help develop and deliver inclusive, dynamic people development and culture strategies to drive employee engagement, upskill our people, and manage internal and volunteer communications, ensuring our continued growth.
You'll lead teams specialising in learning, engagement, and volunteer experience. You'll develop and ensure the successful implementation of a learning and development strategy that aligns with the strategic and operational capability needs of the charity. You'll design and deliver a series of interventions that develop our senior leaders, colleagues, and volunteers, enhancing our capability to deliver our strategy. You'll continuously review and evaluate People Experience and Culture activities to ensure they remain relevant to changing organisational needs and are aligned with other support functions and operational strategies.
Directing the development and implementation of a strategic internal communications plan, you’ll ensure all colleagues and volunteers are connected to our work, reinforcing our values and culture. You'll own the cycle of gaining feedback from colleagues and volunteers and drive the action planning process to ensure that progress and improvements are achieved.
Working across Directorates, you'll ensure a consistent people and volunteer experience. You'll guide the design and management of systems and processes that deliver a great experience, ensuring all interventions are measured and evaluated effectively, building learning into subsequent activities.

What we want from you
An experienced people leader, you’ll have a proven track record of developing and delivering impactful People Experience and Culture strategies, including learning and leadership development interventions, ideally within the charity or not-for-profit sector. You're both a strategic and operational thinker and leader, able to articulate clear aims and rationale to shape longer-term plans and see them through to operational delivery.

Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.
