£34,300 - £37,300 per annum
Fixed term (12 months), full-time (37.5 hours per week)
Hybrid working with regular travel to our London Bridge Office
What the job involves
The Policy and Health Influencing teams are responsible for using clinical data and evidence to shape what the organisation thinks and to develop solutions that drive change for men with and at risk of prostate cancer. This means working with clinicians, patients and stakeholders to interpret the latest changes in prostate cancer research, care, support and treatment which will help shape our strategic direction and activities.
We’re looking for a Senior Policy Officer to join us on a fixed term basis for 12 months. Your role in the team will be to support the organisation by pinpointing the health policy and practice changes that will give men access to the best diagnosis, treatment and support.
You’ll develop evidence-based and patient-experience-informed policy positions that support the delivery of our strategic direction. You’ll horizon scan to identify relevant external health policy developments across the four UK nations and advise and support teams around the organisation with information on external policy developments, identifying routes to achieve change.
Additionally, you'll produce evidence-led policy reports and briefings, advising teams on external policy developments and identifying opportunities for change.
What we want from you
We’re seeking a skilled policy professional with experience in developing evidence-based policies and positions. You'll understand the importance of using evidence to create strong, reliable policies and have some knowledge of various research methodologies.
With a solid grasp of research methods, you'll be able to simplify complex clinical research into clear, accessible terms. Your ability to influence others will be crucial for representing our organisation externally and ensuring timely approval of new treatments, including contributing to NICE/SMC consultations.
You'll work closely with teams across the organisation to stay updated on external policy changes and identify opportunities for influence. By offering expert advice and support, you'll help us meet our strategic goals and improve patient outcomes.
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.
