We’ll want to find out about the policy and public affairs campaigns you’ve driven and the challenges you’ve faced, as well hearing about your successes.  

People who do well in our teams succeed because they are open to working collaboratively and have a genuine passion for our cause. So, it goes without saying you’re a natural communicator and someone who can work with a range of stakeholders, both inside and outside Tenovus Cancer Care. And attitude is also really important to us, so we look for team players who care about our work and the people and communities we support.

We’re in an exciting period of growth. After a successful pilot in the last academic year, we are working with the Welsh Government to upscale our Digital Surgeries: Wales programme. A Welsh specific version of our flagship Digital Surgeries programme, Digital Surgeries: Wales connects young people with their local councillors and Members of the Senedd through digital platforms, giving young people a chance to ask questions and engage with their political representatives.
