Permanent, full-time (37.5 hours per week)
Hybrid working with regular travel to our London Bridge Office
What the job involves
This is an opportunity to play a key role in helping us understand, evidence and communicate the impact of our Black Health Equity Strategy. Focussing on improving outcomes for Black men affected by prostate cancer, you’ll bring together lived experience, insight and data to show the difference our work is making and help shape future priorities.
Working across the organisation and with external partners and communities, you’ll design and embed practical approaches to impact measurement and evaluation. You’ll help teams capture meaningful evidence, define outcomes and build a consistent understanding of impact that supports learning, accountability and continuous improvement.
You’ll turn data, feedback and insights into clear, engaging stories that bring our work to life for a range of audiences. From reports and case studies to multimedia content and impact updates, you’ll create accessible outputs that support decision-making, strengthen understanding and demonstrate the value of our work.
Building strong relationships will be central to your success. You’ll work closely with colleagues, partners and Black communities to ensure impact is captured authentically, ethically and respectfully. By combining evidence, storytelling and evaluation, you’ll help make our Black Health Equity work more visible, influential and effective across the organisation and beyond.
What we want from you
You may already work in impact, evaluation, insight, learning or research and be looking for an opportunity to use your skills to influence meaningful change. We’re looking for someone with experience of developing evaluation approaches, outcomes frameworks or theories of change, ideally within a health, charity or social impact setting.
You’ll be comfortable working with both qualitative and quantitative data, turning evidence, feedback and insight into clear conclusions that support learning, decision-making and improvement. You’ll also be a strong communicator, able to translate complex information into engaging reports, impact stories and accessible content for a range of audiences.
A good understanding of equity and health inequalities is essential, along with the ability to apply this knowledge in practice. You’ll have experience of working respectfully and effectively with Black communities and be committed to ensuring lived experience is at the heart of how impact is understood, measured and communicated.
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’re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men. 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. To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Allies to Black communities. We’ll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We're also working to be Allies to each other, not only protected groups. In 2024, we launched our New Allyship Training Programme. All colleagues at Prostate Cancer UK will be trained to act and identify as an Ally.
We've also signed Business in the Communities Race at Work Charter, as a dedication to our Black health equity work and wider EDI priorities. As a signatory, we're responsible and accountable for driving positive change.
