You will be responsible for sourcing relatable human-interest stories about cancer, its treatment and research, and turning them into inspirational case studies which demonstrate our impact and enhance content across our owned and earned communication channels.  You will be an effective, genuine and intuitive storyteller as well as an advocate for our mission.

We take an unbiased approach to research funding by focusing on supporting only the best ideas for new cures. By having a diverse research portfolio, we increase our chances of finding breakthroughs.

Our vision is of a day when no life is cut short by cancer, and we believe we can achieve this by starting the life-saving advances of the future by sowing the seeds of discoveries. Anyone that helps bring forward breakthroughs – including our staff, our supporters, and the researchers we fund – is a Curestarter.

As a charity, we are committed to opportunity without barriers, and we are striving to seek, value and learn from different perspectives and experiences. We want Worldwide Cancer Research to be an inclusive organisation – where everyone can be themselves and feel valued – as diverse as the scientific community we fund and the families whose lives we impact.

We aim to ensure that our recruitment process is unbiased and that everyone is treated equitably.
