About us
Transparency International is a global movement sharing one vision: a world in which government politics, business and the daily lives of people are free of corruption. Transparency International UK is the UK national chapter of this movement. We work with the British government, parliamentarians, civil society and the private sector to tackle corruption at home, addressing the UK’s global corruption footprint and helping multinational companies prevent corruption by operating with integrity. We are also home to two major global programmes tackling corruption in the Defence and Security sector and Global Health on behalf of the wider Transparency International movement.
The UK Programme seeks to put an end to corruption in the UK and the role of the UK in facilitating corruption abroad. We expose and tackle corruption and hold power to account here in the UK through robust research, investigations and advocacy. To do that we need to understand the way corruption works and the systems that enable it.
Our work has already been key to delivering:
- Four major pieces of Economic Crime legislation making it harder for dirty money to find its way to the UK
- The introduction of a register to reveal the true owners of foreign companies owning property in the UK
- The Bribery Act - regarded as the toughest piece of legislation of its kind.
- Unexplained Wealth Orders (UWOs) – an investigative tool to help law enforcement act on corrupt assets.
- Promised reforms to lobbying transparency and regulation of post-political appointments.
We work with the UK and devolved governments, the private sector and civil society to create a UK free from corruption.

About World Child Cancer
Most childhood cancers are curable. We know this because survival rates in the UK and Europe regularly top 80%. But for children in low and middle-income countries, the prognosis is bleak with their chance of survival falling to 20%.
The solution? It already exists. The challenge is making sure that every child gets the diagnosis, treatment and care they need. Yet in many countries, public and professional awareness of childhood cancer is dangerously low. Opportunities for early diagnosis are missed. Referrals are delayed. And there are not enough health workers with the specialist skills to diagnose and treat the disease.
It is children and families that pay the price.
Determined to balance this inequality, World Child Cancer works with local, regional, and international partners in some of the world’s poorest countries to improve: Treatment, early diagnosis, family support and advocacy.
Created in 2007, World Child Cancer is a small yet fast-growing, ambitious international charity.

The Programme Manager role will be crucial to the success and development of the charity. You will be responsible for the management and delivery of our work in Bangladesh & Nepal, ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget and to high standard.
