Step into a transformative journey with Working Options. We're on a mission to empower young people aged 14–19 across the UK — and you can help make a real difference.

Over the past 18 months, our team has been building a movement of support for young people across Wales, having a significant impact on their life chances and working towards the aim of inspiring every young person in the country.

So far, we’ve already reached 19,000 students in-person and are connected with a third of all Welsh state secondary schools and colleges. In 2025, we’re aiming to reach 13,000 more young people — and we’re looking for a passionate colleague to help us make that happen.

About the role

As North Wales Project Coordinator, you’ll play a crucial role in:

• Connecting volunteers with schools and colleges, ensuring young people benefit from inspiring talks and workshops.
• Developing and maintaining strong relationships with schools, employers, and volunteers.
• Listening and adapting to the needs of young people, ensuring our programme creates real value for them and the stakeholders we work with.

You’ll be part of a flexible, entrepreneurial, and collaborative team that works remotely across Wales but comes together for events, volunteer training, school meetings, and team meet-ups. We set high expectations for ourselves and each other, value individual contributions, and celebrate shared success.

We’re seeking someone who is:

• Passionate about helping young people succeed.
• Fully committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion.
• Self-motivated and proactive, with a “can-do” attitude.
• Highly organised, able to juggle multiple priorities and meet deadlines.
• Skilled at building strong relationships, particularly with schools and colleges.
• Resilient, tenacious, and excited by new opportunities.
• Creative and open to trying new ideas.
• Ambitious for themselves and the charity.
• Confident with technology and has strong computer literacy.

Desirable:

• Experience within educational settings or working with young people in Wales.
• The ability to communicate in the medium of Welsh.

Essential:

• Based in North Wales, or locations within England that are near to the border (e.g. Liverpool, Chester, Manchester)
• While not required, we particularly welcome applications from people who have experienced some of the challenges young people across Wales face today.

At Working Options, we believe in:

• Empowering volunteers to deliver high-quality talks and workshops.
• Providing a first-class service for schools that trust us with their students.
• Supporting each other to innovate, grow, and make real impact.

You’ll be joining a team that’s already changing lives — but we’re just getting started. With your help, we can reach even more young people and open up new opportunities for their future.

If this sounds like the right environment for you, we’d love to hear from you.

Good luck with your application!

Hybrid working with regular travel to our London Bridge Office

What the job involves

Are you a strategic leader with a passion for building lasting relationships with supporters? We're looking for a Head of Individual Giving to join our amazing Fundraising team.

It's an exciting time to join the fundraising team at Prostate Cancer UK as we deliver on a new strategy. We've seen an upward trend in our fundraising income over the last decade and we're anticipating further growth in the next five years. We're introducing new roles to transform how we work and intentionally integrate our individual giving with our work across fundraising, brand and health awareness. You'll play a vital role within our successful mass fundraising function, helping us strengthen our propositions to acquire new supporters and secure long-term support.

In this key role, you'll be at the forefront of developing and delivering our individual giving strategy. You'll lead on the acquisition of new supporters and work to diversify our channels based on supporter insights. A crucial part of your work will be to create and deliver engaging supporter journeys across all touchpoints, ensuring our donors are at the heart of everything we do.

You'll oversee our legacy marketing program and review our legacy stewardship, strengthening long-term relationships with people who intend to leave a gift in their will. Working with both internal teams and external agencies, you'll develop and deliver high-quality, compelling propositions.

As a leader, you'll provide guidance and support for the Individual Giving team, helping to deliver our ambitious fundraising strategy. You'll also be responsible for business planning, forecasting, and monitoring income and expenditure to ensure sustainable growth. This is a chance to make a significant impact by putting supporters first and driving long-term loyalty.

What we want from you

We’re looking for an experienced leader with a strong track record of growing income from individual supporters. With expertise across a range of individual giving techniques and channels, you’ll know how to use supporter insight to shape campaigns that deliver meaningful engagement and lasting results. Experience in legacy marketing and stewardship will be particularly valuable as we continue to grow this vital area.

As a people manager, you’ll inspire and motivate your team, creating a supportive environment where great ideas thrive and excellent results are achieved. You’ll also be confident working with senior stakeholders, using your clear and persuasive communication style to build strong, collaborative relationships across the organisation.

We’re seeking someone who is both strategic and hands-on, comfortable with business planning, budgeting and forecasting, while also using testing and analysis to refine approaches and improve performance. You’ll be skilled at managing budgets and suppliers effectively, with a sound understanding of data protection and fundraising regulation, ensuring all activity is delivered to the highest standards. You’ll have experience of managing risk and navigating challenging situations, like how to develop supporters beyond being a one-off donor. You’ll bring a reliable voice as the subject matter expert for individual giving.

Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.

Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.

Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.

Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion

At Prostate Cancer UK we’re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Allies to Black communities. We’ll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We're also working to be Allies to each other, not only protected groups. In 2024, we launched our New Allyship Training Programme. All colleagues at Prostate Cancer UK will be trained to act and identify as an Ally.

We've also signed Business in the Communities Race at Work Charter, as a dedication to our Black health equity work and wider EDI priorities. As a signatory, we're responsible and accountable for driving positive change.

How and where we work

We are all expected to be in the office (SE1 2QN) four days a month (pro-rata for part time colleagues) to work with and alongside colleagues in our immediate team and beyond to build connections and strong working relationships. We value that face-to-face time for relationships, projects and decisions.

The Campaign Director will form the campaign strategy to see an increase in the rate of Statutory Sick Pay, fundraise to implement the strategy, hire campaign team members, support the team to implement the strategy, hold the key stakeholder relationships, drive the campaign, and deliver parts of the campaign where needed.
