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. We stand against discrimination and prejudice, and we champion tolerance, fairness and equality in everything we do. This makes us stronger and helps us reach more people. We’re all here for the same reason: to give every man the power to navigate prostate cancer.

We're committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men who are at double risk. 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.

Therefore, we’re particularly interested in applications from those from marginalised and vulnerable communities. This will help us create an environment of inclusion where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work, where personal qualities are as important as professional experience, and our people feel seen and heard.

Joining our Customer Engagement and Experience team, you’ll work within the Engagement Events Team and work alongside key internal departments such as the Public Affairs and High Value Fundraising teams to deliver events that meet the highest standards of excellence and create lasting impact, in line with our strategic ambitions.

You’ll collaborate with our talented team of specialists across the charity and the Communications directorate, helping to develop and maintain logistical and administrative projects that drive successful events, inspire action, and create positive change for men. You’ll be part of a tight-knit team of four, working directly with the Engagement Events Manager in a dynamic, collaborative environment, working on a varied portfolio which includes carol concerts, educational webinars, research conferences and high-value philanthropy events.

Supporting the delivery, planning and execution of audience-focussed events that bring our supporters, advocates, and stakeholders together- across the charity, you’ll work closely with the Engagement Events Manager to develop project plans, conduct thorough risk assessments, and ensure seamless on-the-day event logistics.

What we want from you

We’re looking for an excellent communicator who’s skilled at building relationships, inspiring, and engaging others. You’ll be engaging with a range of stakeholders, including internal and external specialists at all levels. With experience in a supporter- or customer-focused environment, you’re comfortable working both online and face-to-face.

You’ll bring proven expertise in delivering event logistics, from project planning and risk assessment to on-the-day event management, with a track record of working on a wide variety of bespoke events – ideally including high-value cultivation events, engagement events, and webinars. As a strong project manager, you’ll use your organisational skills to handle both proactive and reactive tasks, always with a solutions-focused approach.

You’ll also be proficient in using databases to manage relationships, including budget and supplier management tools and CRM systems.

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. We stand against discrimination and prejudice, and we champion tolerance, fairness and equality in everything we do. This makes us stronger and helps us reach more people. We’re all here for the same reason: to give every man the power to navigate prostate cancer.

We're committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men who are at double risk. 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.

Therefore, we’re particularly interested in applications from those from marginalised and vulnerable communities. This will help us create an environment of inclusion where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work, where personal qualities are as important as professional experience, and our people feel seen and heard.

Ways of working

Our hybrid working approach combines the best of flexible working – a positive work/life balance, inclusive and accessible platforms, and online information at our fingertips.
