About Prostate Cancer Research 

Prostate Cancer Research (PCR) is a research and information provision charity that is dedicated to improving and saving the lives of people with prostate cancer. Patients are central to everything we do and drive our work. Our work covers four key areas:

• Academic and social research – We fund novel and innovative research projects at world-leading institutions that are working towards breakthroughs in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of advanced prostate cancer, and better quality of life outcomes for patients. We ensure that our research is targeted to address patient need and research gaps to maximise our impact and reach better treatments for patients sooner.

• Translational research – We set up Proven Connect, the translational research arm of PCR, to focus on ensuring more promising treatments get from lab to patient through bridging the gap between industry, investors, health providers and patients.

• Patient information and empowerment – We acknowledge that research alone is not enough to achieve our vision. We involve, educate, and empower people affected by prostate cancer to enable them to play a more active role in driving forward changes in research, treatment and care.

• Influencing – We seek to ensure greater equity of treatment and parity of care, and are working towards a world where no man is left behind, where prostate cancer is caught early and can be cured. 

Our vision for the future is clear: to be an integral part of creating one of the healthiest ecosystems for any disease type. An ecosystem that is connected, collaborative, equitable, and effective. Over the next 3 years we are setting ambitious targets to double our research funding, accelerate twelve biotech ventures, engage at least 100,000 people in influencing change, initiate three novel projects to enhance equity, and grow our income to more than £7 million.

About the Gardeners’ Company

The Gardeners’ Company is a Livery Company – a membership organisation with a long history and close ties to the City of London. Today our members come from a wide range of backgrounds; all are united by a passion for horticulture, gardens and the natural world.

We were founded in mediaeval times – the first record of our organisation dates back to 1345 – by gardeners who practised their craft in the City of London. We were formally constituted with the grant of a Royal Charter in 1605.

The Gardeners' Company runs a busy events programme comprising lectures, talks and presentations by eminent horticulturalists; outings to explore and learn about beautiful gardens and landscapes; and formal dinners and lunches at historic City of London venues.

Through offering warm hospitality and this wide range of shared activities, the Company builds relationships among its members, as well as with partners from the horticulture industry and across the City of London. The resulting bonds of friendship and trust are the vital foundations upon which we carry out the remainder of our work. This work takes three forms.

First, as a small organisation, we run a limited number of in-house projects that focus on areas where we can achieve the greatest impact. Much of this involves nurturing the next generation of horticulturists. Our Schools Outreach programme uses engaging presentations and outings to introduce school children – from diverse ages and backgrounds – to the myriad career opportunities available to them in horticulture. We also support those later in their career journeys, offering awards and scholarships to student and apprentice horticulturists.

Second, we work with partners to incubate new horticultural initiatives. Our members generate ideas, attract collaborators and provide start-up resources (whether financial or in-kind), with the intention of establishing new projects that can flourish independently. In recent years we’ve helped to set up: a horticultural training programme (Future Gardeners); the habitat-development and advocacy work of Pollinating London Together; and the Livery Climate Action Group. 

(In parallel, the Company Charity – a separate entity, but one that is largely funded by donations from our members – awards close to £100k in grants to horticultural projects each year).

Third, and most ambitiously, we want to help bring about a coordinated response to the many challenges facing the horticulture sector. We want to act as a convenor and catalyst for change, bringing key players together for a much-needed national conversation. With our unique position – spanning horticulture, the City, the charity sector, and a wide range of other disciplines – we believe we are well-placed to play this role, and over the coming years, our efforts will increasingly focus on this important area of work.

We are seeking someone to join our team as Academic Administrator. Trinity College Bristol is a vibrant community of around 60 undergraduate and taught postgraduate students, many training for ordination in the Church of England. The College is made up of both residential and dispersed learners, both full- and part-time, as well as a lively cohort of a further 60 postgraduate research students.

In this full time role you would be responsible for the administration and support of all of our taught programmes associated with the Common Awards scheme (under Durham University) at undergraduate and taught postgraduate levels, and of all aspects related to the academic progress of students on these programmes for both Trinity College and Bristol Baptist College. You would likewise be responsible for all programmes at pre-undergraduate level and above which are internally accredited by Trinity College.

Trinity is a fantastic place to work. Our offices are in lovely buildings on a beautiful site close to the centre of Bristol and the students and staff are wonderful to work with. There are great perks attached to the role, including free parking and lunch. Above all, it is an immense privilege to serve an inspiring cause, helping church leaders of the future to grow in knowledge, skills and character.

We are looking for an experienced professional to manage and develop our holistic immigration and generalist advice and casework services, including line management and supervision of relevant staff and volunteers.
