About Working for Us
This is a fast-paced organisation that is really 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
Pancreatic cancer is a tough one but we're taking it on. It is tough to diagnose, tough to treat, and tough to research. For too long this disease has been side-lined. We want to make sure that everyone affected by it gets all the help they need. Together we are taking on pancreatic cancer. Underpinning this vision are our three values:
- Courage
- Community
- Compassion
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.

Hours: 37.5
Job Type: Full time
Contract Type: Fixed Term Contract
This is an exciting opportunity to join Active Oxfordshire in a Senior Management position. You will be working with a fearless and passionate team and multiple partners across the county to increase activity levels for the people and places that need it most. This role is part of significant new investment into Oxfordshire for place-based working and will involve working with communities and key partners to help achieve lasting change in increasing activity.
About the role:
This new role is part of Active Oxfordshire’s continued growth and will lead the strategic direction of our place-based work across the county as well as being formally involved in the Marmot Place work in Oxfordshire.
As a member of the Senior Leadership Team at Active Oxfordshire, the successful candidate will guide our strategy for our focused work in priority areas, build relationships with partners across the system and line manage the Healthy Active Neighbourhoods Manager. An overarching priority will be to ensure that our priority place programmes align and complement work across the rest of the organisation and system in Oxfordshire.
About you:
You will have experience in identifying strategic opportunities and the ability to develop and nurture relationships at a senior level in partner organisations.
As an experienced line manager, you will be able to bring people together around a specific agenda and create a sense of energy and purpose.

You will receive a salary of £48,000 and benefits including a generous 10% contributory pension scheme, Cycle to Work scheme, 38 days annual leave inclusive of bank holidays (pro rata) and our new bespoke Employee Support and Wellbeing Programme.
Hybrid working is available, which means typically one day a week is in the office (Monday) with the rest of the week working remotely from home, within the community or with partner organisations. This role would likely involve regular working from County Hall (central Oxford) due to the direct link to Marmot Place work.
Active Oxfordshire welcomes applications from all sections of the community and actively encourages diversity within our team to maximise achievements, creativity and good practice.

We want all candidates to have an equal chance to shine in this process – please let us know if there’s anything we can do to make sure the application process works for you (Further contact details can be found in the job pack).
How to apply:
Please refer to the job pack for further information on how to apply and closing dates.
Please note a satisfactory Enhanced DBS check will be required for this role.
By applying for this role, you are stating that you are eligible to work in the UK. Active Oxfordshire is unable to apply for a Certificate of Sponsorship for this role.
About us
Welcome to Active Oxfordshire
We are a registered charity (1179040) and part of a network of 43 Active Partnerships. We work alongside partners and local communities to break down barriers to physical activity.
Through our various programmes and partnerships, more children and young people in the county can learn to swim, ride a bike and enjoy being active together with their families. Our flagship activity programmes, which include a programme for families on lower incomes and a programme for adults with long-term health conditions, now reach more than 17,000 residents each year. Supporting Oxfordshire residents in most need to be more active is helping to prevent and manage health conditions, improve mental health and well-being and connect communities. Our work changes lives every day, and this role is an exciting opportunity to further our impact in areas of highest priority.
Our purpose at Active Oxfordshire is to empower communities, unify partners and challenge Oxfordshire’s extreme health inequalities, with the overall outcome of significantly increasing activity levels to transform health and wellbeing. We do this by working with local partners across multiple sectors. We are a system partner of Sport England, and this role is part of significant new investment into Oxfordshire by Sport England through their Place Universal Offer funding.
Our recruitment principles
Underpinning our recruitment are the following 10 principles:
1) Successful applications will never be contingent on a driving license or access to a car. 25% of our current team do not drive and this has no impact on their capability to do their job.
2) Online interviews will always be available where that supports the accessibility of the process.
3) Salary transparency – we will always advertise the salary of a role, including whether it is negotiable.
4) Regular language - we try to remove jargon and industry specific language as much as possible. If anything in the below does not make sense, then please challenge us on this.
5) Applications are redacted to remove certain information, so that potential unconscious biases are reduced.
6) Candidates will always be sent any interviews questions or tasks in advance.
7) Candidates can also bring notes to interviews. We would much rather you remember all your great examples and tell us about them, than remember them on the way home.
8) We will not ask for a degree unless it is absolutely the only way that someone can become qualified or experienced to carry out a specific role. Undergraduate Degree admissions are heavily dominated by White British students (e.g. 72.6% in 2019-2020 academic year) and by specifying a degree as a requirement we narrow the opportunities of talented people who are part of the global majority.
9) We will never try to catch people out or make their life difficult in our recruitment processes but instead will be doing everything possible to create conditions where people can celebrate and demonstrate their talents.
10) Candidates will be encouraged to dress comfortably for interview. Our panel won’t be dressed in business attire, and we very seldom would be in the course of our work.

About Lumos
Lumos is an international children’s charity founded in 2005 by the author J.K. Rowling to end the harmful practice of institutionalisation of children. Lumos’s mission is to fight for every child’s right to a family by transforming care systems around the world. Our vision is for all children to grow up in safe and loving families.
Despite clear evidence of the harms of institutionalisation, an estimated 5.4 million children worldwide continue to live in institutions. Separated from their families and communities, these children are deprived of the love, attention and opportunities they need to thrive. Our three-pronged approach is to prevent family separation, to protect children and to promote care reform. We’ve made important progress in closing harmful institutions and reuniting children with their families. And where children are unable to live with their birth families, we promote alternative family-based care, such as kinship care and quality foster care. Thanks to our tireless efforts alongside many other champions of care reform, the harms of institutionalisation are now more widely understood. A global movement is underway and the UN, the EU and some large development agencies have joined individual countries in pledging to change how they care for vulnerable children. We are committed to ensuring that global policy commitments are translated into local action, leading to sustainable change for vulnerable children.
JOB PURPOSE
This is an exciting opportunity for a proactive and organised operations professional to play a key role in strengthening the systems, processes and projects that will underpin our 10-year ambition.
