Are you an experienced and dependable Estates and Facilities Manager who is committed to delivering an exceptional experience for the users of all our premises?

Do you want to play a key role in an organisation that makes a real difference to the lives and livelihoods of individuals and communities across London? Do you have the dedication and attention to detail to ensure that all aspects of our estate are maintained in top condition and the facilities provide the best possible environment for the services we deliver?

We are a multi service charity who offer adult learning, access to free legal advice and community services that work with the most vulnerable and disadvantaged groups to build stronger communities.  Based over three sites in Stratford, Southwark and Holborn we are now in search of an Estates and Facilities Manager to consolidate our working practices, establish efficient and cost-effective routines and relationships, develop our sustainability practices and take us even further on our journey of growth.

You will be prepared to be hands-on when required, but able to step back and manage the big picture. We work at pace and need you to do the same. We would love someone to join us who shares our passion!

What the job involves

As our Website Operations Producer, you’ll play a key role in the Customer Engagement and Experience Team, driving impactful digital projects that inspire positive change for men.

In this role, you’ll lead the end-to-end project journey—from initial briefs to launch and seamless handover for ongoing management. You’ll spearhead the development of various digital products, including website feature enhancements, infrastructure improvements, and new platform upgrades. You’ll shape strategic project roadmaps, making recommendations on project sequencing and prioritising resources for maximum impact.

You’ll work closely with internal teams to define the scope and requirements of each project, balancing user needs with our broader goals to deliver an outstanding digital experience. Acting as the primary liaison for external agencies, you’ll ensure they deliver high-quality work on time and within budget. From testing new features to conducting user acceptance testing, you’ll ensure every project meets user needs and is ready for a seamless deployment.

What we want from you

We’re seeking someone with excellent experience in managing web development projects using Agile/Scrum and Waterfall methodologies, and a solid grasp of the software development lifecycle. You’ll bring excellent communication skills, a high level of organisation, and meticulous attention to detail, along with a natural ability to build strong working relationships.

You’ll have the ability to understand and communicate complex technical information into clear, accessible language for non-technical audiences, while expertly managing multiple stakeholders and agency partnerships. Proficiency with project tools like Trello, Slack, and Google Docs is essential, along with experience in out-of-the-box CMS platforms like Umbraco and a readiness to learn bespoke systems. You’ll also have a solid background in website analytics.

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.
