What the job involves

We’re looking for a Community Awareness and Engagement Manager to join our Policy and Health Influencing Team and support volunteers raising awareness of prostate cancer in their communities. 

Alongside engaging volunteers speaking about their lived experience and hosting information stands, you’ll be delivering our new Lifesaving Conversations programme, giving volunteers the tools and confidence to raise awareness of prostate cancer risk in an informal way.

We use our knowledge to influence and reduce racial health inequalities across the UK and the world to save the lives of men, and more Black men, who are at double the risk of prostate cancer as the general population. You’ll manage the Black health equity engagement team whose main responsibility currently is to increase awareness, trust and engagement with Black communities, requesting volunteers to reflect the increased risk and impact of prostate cancer on Black men. 

You’ll develop and manage relationships with key stakeholder groups to deliver a programme of community awareness and engagement around the risk of prostate cancer. You’ll also be providing role specific training to volunteers ensuring they have the tools to reach and engage with men most impacted by prostate cancer. 

Collaboration is an important aspect of the role as you partner with Health Services, Equity and Improvement colleagues where Lifesaving Conversations and community awareness volunteers can support strategic objectives. You’ll also work with our Partnerships Team to deliver an income generating corporate awareness offer.

Working closely with the Volunteer Experience Manager, you’ll have input in communications, supporter journeys and developing community networks for volunteers. You’ll evaluate the impact of our work in engagement and awareness to increase our impact.

This is a rewarding role where you’ll get to meet volunteers and supporters and see first-hand the work of Prostate Cancer UK. Together we are supporting and raising awareness of the impact of prostate cancer, providing men with the knowledge of their risk and the power to act on it. 

What we want from you

To be successful in this role you’ll have excellent knowledge and experience of leading and managing cross-organisational programmes and projects.

You’ll have strong communication skills, both verbally and in writing and be able to adapt to suit your audience from volunteers to health professionals. You’ll also be able to successfully build relationships and feel comfortable with engaging communities and stakeholders.

You’ll work closely with volunteers and keep the end user in mind so have to be able to show previous experience in user involvement, putting customers at the heart of project planning and delivery with a passion for inclusion and accessibility.

Knowledge of, or previous experience in health campaigns and volunteering within the charity sector will be beneficial for this role but we also recognise transferable skills from other sectors. In this role you’ll also be meeting members of the community and their families who have experienced the impact of prostate cancer and empathy, and understanding will be crucial to this 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 believe that equity, diversity and inclusion are essential to building a strong and innovative workplace that represents, and can advocate for, the communities we support.

It’s our ambition to become an anti-racist organisation, and our mission to advance racial equity in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.

When stroke strikes, part of your brain shuts down. And so does a part of you. That’s because a stroke happens in the brain, the control centre for who we are and what we can do. It happens every five minutes in the UK and changes lives instantly. Recovery is tough, but with the right specialist support and a ton of courage and determination, the brain can adapt.

We believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke. And it’s a team effort to get there.

We provide specialist support, fund critical research and campaign to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support to rebuild their lives.

We’re working to improve the diversity of our team.  Because we know that individuality leads to a richer experience for our people and better support for those affected by stroke.

We strongly encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. And we’re particularly looking to increase the number of applications from those with lived experience of stroke and those from under-represented communities. 

Every five minutes, stroke destroys lives. Help us rebuild them and join our team.

In 2019, we developed a bold new corporate strategy so that we can rebuild more lives after stroke and make a bigger difference to people’s lives. To help us deliver our strategy and make a real difference, we are looking to recruit talented people to a number of new roles. If you would like to support stroke survivors to rebuild their lives, we want to hear from you!
