Volunteers will drop in regularly for a cup of tea and a chat, providing friendship and companionship to those experiencing loneliness and isolation. BIAS’s volunteer project is currently based in Brent, but it will potentially be rolled out into Haringey in future years.

We are looking for a dynamic, enthusiastic and empathetic person to take the lead on managing and growing our volunteer project.

• Managing volunteer recruitment, interviewing candidates and matching them with appropriate roles.
• Supporting, developing and retaining our current team of volunteers.

• Working closely with colleagues and external organisations to develop working partnerships and explore collaboration opportunities, e.g. intergenerational volunteering projects.
• Organising twice-yearly volunteer social events.
• Promoting and raising public awareness of both BIAS’s volunteering opportunities and the wider importance of volunteering.
• Evaluating and improving the volunteering process and experience.
• Maintaining clear records of volunteer work in BIAS’s client management system.
• Drafting reports and case studies to demonstrate the project’s progress and value.
• Maintaining an awareness of policy changes and best practices in volunteering.

These are the basic duties required of the Volunteer Manager.

We will also offer training opportunities to support your career development.

What the job involves

Prostate Cancer UK is committed to funding research that transforms the lives of men affected by or at high risk of prostate cancer. With too many men harmed and too few cures available, we’re driven to deliver a future where men’s lives are not limited by prostate cancer. We invest in innovative ideas to advance our understanding, improve diagnostic approaches and develop better treatments.

We’re seeking two proactive and knowledgeable Research Impact and Engagement Managers to join our Research Directorate. In this role, you’ll support the Head of Research Impact and Engagement as part of the Research Impact and Engagement Team, driving the use and visibility of our funded research to showcase the success of our investments and strengthen connections within the prostate cancer research community.

You’ll oversee 50% of our larger and more complex completed research grants, acting as the primary contact to evaluate their progress and potential impact. You’ll also lead high-profile networking events and develop innovative strategies to inspire researchers to submit groundbreaking proposals that align with our mission of ensuring no man’s life is limited by prostate cancer.

A key focus of your role will be implementing strategies to maximise engagement with the research community, enhance the visibility of our funded work, and foster collaborations. Working closely with the research funding team and other departments, you’ll ensure alignment with organisational goals and promote knowledge exchange within the research ecosystem.

You’ll mentor junior team members and apply your research experience to track and accelerate the outcomes and impact of our funded projects.

This is an opportunity to play a key role in transforming prostate cancer research, driving innovation, and making a lasting difference for men affected by the disease.

What we want from you

Your role is vital to the charity, ensuring research delivers tangible benefits for men affected by prostate cancer—a key focus of our strategy.

To succeed, you’ll need a strong scientific foundation, supported by a degree in biomedical science (or a related field) and research experience. You must be comfortable understanding complex scientific information from reports, publications, and presentations and be skilled at translating this into clear, engaging content for diverse audiences, including researchers, colleagues, and men and their families affected by prostate cancer.

Strong strategic thinking is crucial for developing innovative ways to engage researchers and foster collaboration. Exceptional organisational skills are essential to manage and deliver high-profile research events effectively. Outstanding written and verbal communication skills will enable you to craft compelling case studies, conduct insightful interviews with researchers, and showcase funded projects through social media.

Leadership and mentoring abilities are also key, as you’ll guide and support junior team members to achieve high standards and deliver impactful outcomes. A proactive, solutions-focused mindset will drive you to explore new ideas, identify opportunities, and tackle challenges, ensuring meaningful contributions to our mission.

We encourage applications from candidates who may not completely fit the job description as we are fully committed to help staff develop and progress in their role.

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’re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men. 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. To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Ally's to Black communities. We’ll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We're also working to be Ally's to each other, not only protected groups. In 2024, we launched our New Ally Ship Training Programme. All colleagues at Prostate Cancer UK will be trained to act and identity as an Ally. 

 We've also signed Business in the Communities Race at Work Charter, as a dedication to our Black health equity work and wider EDI priorities. As a signatory, we're responsible and accountable for driving positive change.
