We're the UK's specialist blood cancer charity and our vision is clear: we’re here to beat blood cancer. We fund world-class research; provide information and support to patients and their loved ones; and raise awareness of blood cancer.

Since 1960 we have invested more than £500 million in blood cancer research in the UK. Where we’ve invested, survival rates and quality of life have improved. We’ve been working to beat blood cancer for over 50 years, and we won’t stop until we do. Be a part of our story and help us change the world.

The Senior Health Inequalities and Involvement Manager role is central to us achieving this aim through leading the way we approach and deliver involvement across the organisation, with people affected by blood cancer driving forward our focus on reducing health inequalities. You will be leading our involvement programme, developing our strategy and processes to ensure we can work as effectively as possible, while diversifying our networks by building and strengthening relationships with community leaders and community-based organisations. You’ll be confident supporting the delivery of a range of different projects across the organisation, continuously advocating for an approach where voices of people affected are truly valued and can authentically shape the impact we make together. You’ll be a critical member of our EDI steering group, driving forward our strategy and approach.

This is the role for you if you are an ambitious and motivating leader, a strategic thinker who can help deepen our knowledge on health inequalities existing across our community and deliver an ambitious yet practical approach to reducing these alongside the community we are here to serve.

The majority of our roles can be performed hybrid which means you will be required to attend the office 2-4 days per month, there may also be additional need to attend in-person events i.e. project kick-off meetings or focus groups. Travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense.

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.
