You’re also quick to learn and capable at picking up new systems including those for budget management and products’ fulfilment.

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.

To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Ally's to Black communities. We will 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.
