Health Inequalities and Involvement Lead

Our vision is that no-one dies of their blood cancer or their treatment.  However, despite all the progress we have made so far, we know through our Blood Cancer Action Plan, blood cancer survival rates in the UK are not keeping up with countries of similar wealth and health and there are clear disparities in outcomes depending on geographic location and ethnicity. The blood cancer community deserves better.

The focus of the Health Inequalities and Involvement Lead is to be the subject matter expert on health inequalities and involvement for the charity. They will lead our strategic approach to equality, diversity and inclusion, and reducing health disparities.  They will provide operational support to ensure we meet our ambitions to increase our reach into under-represented communities across all areas of our work across direct support and systems-influencing to improve survival. 

The majority of our roles can be performed hybrid which means you will be required to attend the London office 1 or 2 times per month in addition to regular in person engagement with relevant community groups.

We are committed to actively promoting equality, diversity, and inclusivity. In line with our strategy we welcome approaches from individuals from underrepresented groups, including minority communities, and applicants with a disability, to better reflect the community we serve and help broaden our perspectives.
