Care manager jobs

The role

We’re seeking an innovative Head of Research to join our fantastic Support, Research and Influencing Directorate team and help us improve survival for people with pancreatic cancer.

Currently, pancreatic cancer has a five-year survival rate of just 7% due to late diagnosis and a lack of effective treatments. As our Head of Research, you’ll help us work with leading pancreatic cancer experts to develop an innovative strategy to accelerate research into this devastating disease in the UK. Pancreatic Cancer UK invests around £2.5 million in research each year. You’ll lead on developing and delivering our research programme to ensure we invest this money well and fund quality research that will have an impact.

About You 

• You’ll have a strong track record in developing and implementing research strategy that drives impact.
• You’ll take an innovative approach to research activity, learning from others in the community and incorporating new ideas that can accelerate progress in meeting research objectives.
• You’ll have substantial experience in grant award and management processes, including running grant rounds, working with large external committees, governance, peer review, and evaluating the impact of funding schemes.

If this sounds like you – we’d love to hear from you!

About working for us

This is a fast-paced and growing 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
• 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.

Hybrid-working:

We are currently working hybrid with a minimum of 2-3 days in the office.

Are you passionate about creating real change for young people across Wales?
Do you thrive on building strategic partnerships, influencing policy, and driving impactful education programmes? If so, we’ve got an exciting opportunity for you to lead the charge as our Wales Lead at Young Enterprise—a role where you’ll be the face of our mission, championing financial and enterprise education where it’s needed most.

Who We Are
We’re Young Enterprise – a national charity with a bold mission: to give every young person the skills, confidence, and mindset to thrive in the changing world of work.

For over 60 years, we’ve empowered more than 7 million young people through hands-on enterprise and financial education programmes. Whether it’s launching a student business or learning how to manage money, we help young people develop key life skills—teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, and resilience.

We’re a passionate, down-to-earth team of 90+ staff and 2,000+ volunteers who believe that every young person, regardless of background, deserves a fair start in life.

Why Join Us?
We think Young Enterprise is a great place to work—and we’re proud of our people-first culture. Here’s what you can expect:

 · A friendly and supportive team where your voice is heard

· A strong commitment to diversity and inclusion—we want everyone to feel they belong

· Generous holiday allowance and flexible working

About the Role
As our Wales Lead, you’ll take on a high-impact, strategic role at the forefront of creating real change for young people across Wales. You won’t just be shaping our vision—you’ll be bringing it to life by building powerful partnerships, influencing key decision-makers, and championing the growth of our enterprise and financial education programmes in the places they’re needed most.

 This role is anything but ordinary. One day you could be speaking at a roundtable in the Senedd, the next you might be rallying new corporate partners, supporting a school’s first enterprise challenge, or welcoming a team of volunteers to inspire students during a school workshop. You’ll be a connector, an ambassador, and a changemaker—leading the charge to embed our work into Welsh policy and priorities while forging strong, purposeful relationships across Welsh Government, local authorities, schools, and community organisations.

 You’ll be the face and voice of Young Enterprise in Wales—energising a wide network of businesses, educators, funders, and volunteers to scale our impact and amplify our reach. With a strong focus on growth, fundraising, and influence, you’ll help us secure the resources and recognition needed to empower young people with the skills, confidence, and resilience they need for life, work, and the future.

We're especially keen to hear from candidates who are bilingual in Welsh and English, as this is a great asset for the role.

· Excited by the idea of a fast paced varied role that will be truly transformational for young people in Wales

· Passionate about education, social mobility, and giving every young person a chance to shine

· A natural communicator—whether talking to Government, supporters, schools or young people

· Organised and able to juggle multiple projects (with a great sense of humour!)

· Self-motivated, adaptable, and happy working remotely but never alone—you’ll be part of a close-knit team

Key Responsibilities

· Lead the strategic growth of Young Enterprise in Wales

· Lead on policy awareness, ensuring the organisation remains responsive to Government priorities and commissioned reports

· Develop, maintain and lead strategic relationships with key stakeholders, including funders, local and national government, education bodies and partners

· Identify and secure  funding to support our work across Wales with an ambitious focus on growing income

· Deliver and support the rollout of YE programmes in schools and other settings

· Recruit, train and support volunteers—making sure they feel valued and inspired

· Represent YE in Wales externally at events and forums, promoting the organisations profile and influence across the education and third sector

· Build strong partnerships with businesses, educational settings and other local organisations to bring our programmes to life in both formal and informal settings

· Keep accurate records, track impact, and make sure safeguarding is front and centre

A few practical things:

· This is an active hands-on role—you’ll sometimes be lifting resources, setting up venues and travelling regularly (a car and full driving licence are essential)

· You’ll need to be a prolific networker, keen to develop new relationships across Wales to expand our reach

· You’ll need to be happy occasionally working evenings or weekends during peak delivery times

· Expect to be on your feet during some events or sessions—it’s all part of the fun!
