About Cancer Support UK
Cancer Support UK exists to tackle the profound sense of isolation many people experience after a cancer diagnosis. While diagnosis and treatment can have significant physical impacts, the emotional toll can be just as challenging, leaving many feeling alone at a time when connection and understanding are essential. The organisation is dedicated to ensuring that anyone affected by cancer feels supported, understood, and never alone, from diagnosis through treatment and into life beyond.
Through practical and emotional support, Cancer Support UK meets a largely unmet need. Its Cancer Kits, thoughtfully created with input from people with lived experience, provide comfort and reassurance at a critical moment, while its Cancer Coach services offer ongoing guidance to help individuals navigate life after treatment. Alongside this, the organisation works with businesses and the health sector to improve support for those affected by cancer. With millions of people in the UK living with a diagnosis, the charity's mission is clear: to reduce loneliness and ensure no one faces cancer alone.
You'll work within a small, dedicated and talented team and will play a central role in shaping how Cancer Support UK tells its story; leading the development of high-quality, impact led content that brings lived experience together to build support loyalty and increase public engagement and understanding.
The role has real scope for impact and innovation and will work closely with colleagues from across the charity, including the CEO, to build on strong foundations. Core responsibilities within the role will include:
