So, come apply to join our team and let's work towards building a diverse and authentic workplace together.

What the job involves

We’re looking for an exceptional nurse leader to join the Specialist Nurses team at Prostate Cancer UK, part of our wider Support Services team that helps men and their loved ones to navigate the challenges of prostate cancer.

You’ll lead a group of nurses to provide invaluable information and support directly to men and their families via a range of channels, including telephone, email, webchat, and WhatsApp. You’ll also work on the service yourself.

You’ll steer the team’s input into wider charity activity, ensuring that Prostate Cancer UK maintains a strong, credible clinical voice in all it does. Your role will have a particular focus on communications, fundraising and user involvement, overseeing the nurses’ input into these areas of work and leading the team’s relationship with key internal contacts.

As part of the service’s management team, you’ll contribute decisively to discussions around service development, team ways of working and wider strategy.

Please note that there is no face-to-face patient contact as part of this role, and the team’s remit is contained to information and support – not clinical advice.

You’ll be working Monday – Friday, with a hybrid working model. The service runs predominantly remotely, but periodical office attendance for collaborative work is expected.

Current daily shift patterns are 8.45am – 4.45pm or 9.15am – 5.15pm. The appointee will need to be available 8.45am – 5.15pm daily, as shift patterns are allocated based on service requirements.

What we want from you

You’ll be a registered nurse with extensive experience at NHS Band 6 or higher, including recent work in either urology, oncology or palliative care looking after men with prostate cancer. You’ll have experience managing nurses and/or running services to the highest standard. You’ll bring exceptional communication and interpersonal skills. You’ll also be flexible and adaptable to meet the complex demands of this role. Exceptional time-management skills and an ability to work with clear boundaries are critical, in order to both lead and deliver the service effectively.

You’ll also be comfortable with remote working, both in terms of delivering information and support over the phone, and working and leading remotely.

As a Senior Specialist Nurse, you’ll be committed, enthusiastic and compassionate – keen to apply your existing clinical experience and knowledge to provide information and support to those affected by prostate cancer and have the desire to develop new skills.

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.
