About the role and why we need you

You will be part of a team dedicated to strengthening and maintaining the charity’s position as a trusted source of information and a powerful, supportive voice for everyone living and affected by cancer.

You will be responsible for sourcing relatable human-interest stories about cancer, its treatment and research, and turning them into inspirational case studies which demonstrate our impact and enhance content across our owned and earned communication channels.  You will be an effective, genuine and intuitive storyteller as well as an advocate for our mission.

Your ideas and expertise will drive awareness, engagement and conversion through high-profile PR and stories, in turn promoting the work of Worldwide Cancer Research. 

The charity’s values are at its heart and include curious, united and spirited; all of which you will readily demonstrate as you work with colleagues across the team, with our supporters, and influencers.

Who are we? 

At Worldwide Cancer Research, we start new cures. Cancer is still one of the leading causes of death worldwide, but cutting-edge science can give us hope. Discovery research seeks to uncover new knowledge that could change the way we think about cancer. It reveals new ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat cancer that can save lives.

We actively seek unconventional and imaginative ideas from scientists at all stages of their career, across the globe. In some cases, we are the only organisation that will fund a scientist’s idea. We take an unbiased approach to research funding by focusing on supporting only the best ideas for new cures. By having a diverse research portfolio, we increase our chances of finding breakthroughs.

Our vision is of a day when no life is cut short by cancer, and we believe we can achieve this by starting the life-saving advances of the future by sowing the seeds of discoveries. Anyone that helps bring forward breakthroughs – including our staff, our supporters, and the researchers we fund – is a Curestarter.

As a charity, we are committed to opportunity without barriers, and we are striving to seek, value and learn from different perspectives and experiences. We want Worldwide Cancer Research to be an inclusive organisation – where everyone can be themselves and feel valued – as diverse as the scientific community we fund and the families whose lives we impact.

We are committed to ensuring that we provide equal opportunities to every applicant regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation. We aim to ensure that our recruitment process is unbiased and that everyone is treated equitably. In support of this, we have pledged to ‘Show the Salary’ for our roles and we are registered as a Disability Confident Committed Employer - because our team members are at the heart of everything we do to start new cancer cures around the world.

To help start new cancer cures and save lives, we are looking for a Stories and Media Manager to join the Brand & Communications team at Worldwide Cancer Research, to help the charity run its multi-million-pound funding programme for discovery cancer research.
