Background information

Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust is the UK's leading charity dedicated to those affected by cervical cancer and cell changes (abnormalities). The charity was established in 1999 by James Maxwell following the death of his wife Jo, aged 40, from cervical cancer.

Since then we have provided advice and support to thousands of women and their families.

We offer a range of online and face-to-face support and information including: information materials, a free helpline, online forum, national and regional support days and an ‘ask the expert’ service. Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancer amongst young women (under 35) in the UK and Europe.

Two women a day in the UK will die from cervical cancer whilst over 3,000 women are diagnosed each year. In addition, some 220,000 a year are told they may have a cervical abnormality that may require treatment. Thanks to the NHS Cervical Screening and HPV vaccination programmes cervical cancer is a largely preventable disease. However, for those affected, the impact of cancer on a woman's life and that of her family cannot be overstated.

This is an exciting time to join the charity. In recent years awareness of our work and cervical cancer has grown significantly with annual income from £288k to £1.8m. The staff team has also significantly grown to 23 enabling us to reach more women than ever before.

Over the past few years our work has been recognised a number of times including winning a prestigious GSK IMPACT Award, Best Communications Campaign at the Third Sector Excellence Awards and a Plain English Osborne Memorial Award for our website, we have also achieved Investing in Volunteers accreditation.

The person should be highly organised and have at least two years of administrative experience.

About Us

First Love Foundation, a Christian charity, was founded 10 years ago with a desire to see the transformation of society through the pursuit of justice, dignity, and equality for all members of the society. Our vision is for Britain without poverty and our work is underpinned by the belief that no one regardless of faith, ethnicity, socio-economic background, or any other factor should live in poverty or go through this type of crisis alone.

Based in the east end of London, First Love Foundation works with families and individuals experiencing crisis i.e. ‘income-shocks’ ranging from incorrect denial (or suspension of) welfare support, serious ill health, debt, homelessness, right through to domestic violence, trapping them in a continuous cycle of poverty.

We respond to poverty and crisis through the delivery of our highly regarded solutions-oriented Enabling Lives Programme. The programme provides instant access to high-quality support and advice at the point of crisis.

Our mission is ‘to empower people to create their own independent lives by working alongside them with love”. This mission and our theory of change have been carefully developed over many years on the front line, helping people in crisis and learning what it takes for people to break the cycle of poverty.

With projects already in the pipeline that will serve to help even more families and individuals make the journey out of their crisis, we have scope for scale which needs to be supported internally by strong management of crucial areas of the charity’s operations.
