About working for us

This is a fast-paced organisation that is committed to making a difference.

Being a part of our team is being part of a thriving, positive, dynamic, successful, and welcoming community that is making an

impact. We will support you and develop you should you wish this, and you get the opportunity to be involved in activities outside

the scope of your immediate role. We care about your health and well-being and your work-life balance, and you will feel that your

contribution is valued and matters.

About us

We are Pancreatic Cancer UK. We go above and beyond for everyone affected by this disease.

Right now, half of people with pancreatic cancer die within three months of diagnosis. Families are left with only hope to hold

onto. They need more. So we do more.

We bring more break throughs through research, more change through campaigning and more support through our expert nurses.

We make more noise because people have gone unheard. We are relentless because the disease is ruthless. We care more because

Because people with pancreatic cancer need more than hope.

Underpinning this vision are our three values:

• Courage
• Compassion
• Community

We cannot achieve our vision without employing people who are committed to our vision, strategy, and values.

At Pancreatic Cancer UK (PCUK) our ambition is to create an inclusive working environment that reflects the communities and

audiences that we engage with and where everyone can be their true selves, where they feel respected, championed, heard, and

supported. We want our workforce to achieve their potential, understand their contribution and feel proud of their impact by

creating a culture and organisation that is genuinely inclusive by advancing equality, diversity, inclusion, and belonging through

our policies and practices.

We believe diversity drives great outcomes by encouraging the different points of view that come from a diverse workforce. We want

to hear from and engage with people whose experience of dealing with this disease may be very different depending on their

individual circumstances and background. We can think of no better way to do this than by making sure this role fully represents

our intent; therefore, we are especially keen to consider applications from suitable applicants who consider themselves to be in

areas that appear underrepresented within the charity sector.

Safeguarding

PCUK is committed to safe and fair recruitment processes that safeguard and protect those we work with, support and serve. We make

sure all our staff are selected, vetted (DBS/Criminal record checks where appropriate), trained, and supervised fairly and to a

high standard so that they can provide safe, effective and compassionate care. Where we work with volunteers, we extend the same

support in order to ensure that they are working within our ethos and standards.

Location

Can either be home based or under a hybrid model where you are based in our London office and can work from home on occasion –

options of the type of contract can be discussed at the point of offer / if you have questions before applying please get in

touch.

You will need to be living in the geographic area with easy access to East and South of England. There is also some travel which

will be required across this geographic area and to our office meetings in London.
