About Us
The Robin Cancer Trust is looking for a Community & Support Lead to help shape and grow the support we provide to people affected by testicular and ovarian germ cell cancers across the UK. Driven by our community built from lived experience - we support individuals and families navigating diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and life beyond cancer. We connect our community with trusted information, supportive communities, opportunities to share their experiences, and services designed to help them feel informed, empowered and understood.
We do this by:
- Connecting people affected by cancer through our community and shared lived experiences.
- Providing trusted information, signposting and practical support when people need it most.
- Creating opportunities for patients, families and supporters to help shape our services and future work.
- Building a community that breaks isolation, starts conversations and reminds people they are not alone.
Our values:
- Respect: Not only for the important work we undertake, but also for the people who support our mission. We believe in open, honest and empathetic communication between ourselves and our community.
- Creativity: We are a small team with a big vision. In order to drive the change we want to see in the world, we must innovate, disrupt and experiment.
- Trust: We are accountable to each other and our community. We are responsible for upholding these values and the quality of work we undertake and will do so with integrity at all times.
If our mission, vision and values inspire you and resonate with you, we would love to hear from you.
About the role
This is a newly redesigned role created following a review of Robin Cancer Trust's support services.
The Community & Support Lead will play a key role in ensuring that people affected by testicular and ovarian germ cell cancers can access compassionate support, trusted information, meaningful connections and opportunities to shape our future work.
We particularly welcome applications from nurses and other healthcare professionals who may be looking for a career change, greater flexibility, or an opportunity to use their skills in a non-clinical setting. Whilst this is not a clinical position and does not involve providing medical advice, your understanding of the patient experience, treatment pathways and the emotional impact of a cancer diagnosis would help us deliver high-quality, person-centred support to our community.
This role may particularly appeal to nurses seeking flexible, remote working arrangements, including those looking for school-hours working, a better work-life balance, or an opportunity to continue making a meaningful difference outside of frontline clinical practice.
Experience in oncology, cancer care, urology, gynaecology, adolescent and young adult services, community nursing or related healthcare settings would be highly valuable. The knowledge, compassion and communication skills developed through supporting patients and families affected by cancer are directly transferable to this role.
You will be responsible for leading our community and support services, building meaningful relationships with people affected by cancer, and helping us continue to develop services that are shaped by lived experience.
Our Culture:
Our culture is the most important thing to us.
We want someone to join our team with empathy, creativity, versatility and initiative. We are looking for someone who can make this role their own, help shape the future of our support services, and grow alongside the charity as we continue to evolve.
We are looking for someone who cares deeply about people, is comfortable having meaningful conversations, and is passionate about building communities that make a difference.
Job Purpose:
The Community & Support Lead will act as the primary point of contact for Robin Cancer Trust's support services and community activity.
The role will lead the development and delivery of our support offer, including patient enquiries, community engagement, signposting, Thriver Packs, WhatsApp communities, lived experience involvement and service development.
The role will work closely with the CEO, Head of Operations, Medical Advisory Board and Clinical Advisor to ensure our support services remain compassionate, effective, safe and impactful.
Key Responsibilities:
Community Support
- Respond to support enquiries from patients, families and supporters.
- Coordinate the delivery of Thriver Packs.
- Signpost individuals to relevant organisations, services and resources.
- Maintain accurate support records and impact data.
- Ensure enquiries are managed professionally and compassionately.
Community Development
- Lead and develop the Thriver Community.
- Manage and moderate Robin Cancer Trust's WhatsApp communities.
- Build meaningful relationships with people affected by cancer.
- Create opportunities for lived experience involvement.
- Recruit, engage and support community volunteers.
Service Development
- Identify gaps, opportunities and emerging community needs.
- Support the development of new support services and wellbeing initiatives.
- Build relationships with charities, healthcare professionals and support organisations.
- Contribute to the evaluation and continuous improvement of services.
Governance & Administration
- Coordinate Medical Advisory Board meetings and actions.
- Maintain support service reporting and records.
- Support safeguarding processes and escalation pathways.
- Work alongside the Clinical Advisor where specialist support is required.
