About working for us 

This is a fast-paced organisation that is 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.

About us  

We are Pancreatic Cancer UK. We go above and beyond for everyone affected by this disease.

Right now, half of people with pancreatic cancer die within three months of diagnosis. Families are left with only hope to hold onto. They need more. So we do more.

We bring more break throughs through research; more change through campaigning and more support through our expert nurses.

We make more noise because people have gone unheard. We are relentless because the disease is ruthless. We care more because people feel forgotten.

Because people with pancreatic cancer need more than hope.

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: 

Our London office is a place to connect, collaborate and celebrate with colleagues, we recognise that flexibility around where you work is just as important. We are currently working hybrid with a minimum of 2-3 days in the office. This is an office-based role where you may be required to be in the office more frequently to attend activities and meetings depending on the needs of the role.

No agencies/sales call please – as a charity we work hard to keep our costs down and therefore will not be engaging agencies to support this recruitment. 

Prospectus is delighted to be recruiting for a Head of Communications for a charity that works primarily with communities experiencing deprivation to unlock their potential and build a flourishing future.

The Head of Communications will lead their communications nationally and support the development of strong, coherent communications in the places they work. This means holding the big picture — narrative, brand, positioning and influence — while also getting stuck into delivery: writing content, shaping campaigns, managing digital channels, and working closely with teams and partners on the ground. This is not an advisory role. The charity is an ambitious, fast paced organisation and communications is at the heart of the change - not an add on. You’ll be hands-on, collaborative and enabling — helping others find their voice, telling stories with integrity, and building belief in what’s possible when communities are trusted to lead.

The successful candidate will be a thoughtful and ambitious communications leader who cares deeply about place, people and power. This is a rare opportunity to shape the story of a growing, national organisation while staying rooted in the lived reality of local change. You will bring experience of leading communications in complex or mission-driven environments and will have strong written and editorial skills, with the ability to adapt tone for different audiences. You will also bring experience of having worked with digital channels and understanding what drives engagement.

To apply please submit your CV and a two page supporting statement, preferably in Microsoft Word/PDF format. The statement should outline your motivation for joining the charity and why you feel you would be a good fit for this role. You should also demonstrate your experience and skillset with examples relating to the Experience and Skills section in the Appointment Brief.

As a specialist Recruitment Practice Prospectus are committed to building inclusive and diverse organisations, and welcome applications from all sections of the community. Prospectus invest in your journey as a candidate and are committed to supporting you in your application.

About the organisation

Sortition Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation founded in 2017 to build a movement for permanent, powerful citizens’ assemblies. It generates income by delivering professional sortition services to governments, civil society, and organisations like the Global Assembly, using surplus funds to campaign for a democracy fit for the 21st century. We are structured as a workers' co-operative. 

The values that guide our goals are Social Justice and Collective Wisdom and the values that guide our culture are curiosity, care, and courage. We have a small but growing team across the UK, Australia, and the EU.

About the project

The Sortition Foundation, alongside democracy movement allies, is campaigning for a permanent citizens' assembly (CA) in Greater Manchester. Greater Manchester's governance is flawed, with a mayoral authority backed by a small, indirectly elected Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), leaving residents with just one vote every four years. A permanent CA would address this deficit by giving people a voice and holding leaders accountable. A CA would not only benefit greater Manchester but strengthen the Mayor’s decision-making and boost the region’s influence. As metro mayors expand nationwide, this campaign sets a powerful precedent, positioning Greater Manchester as a leader in democratic reform.

About the role

This role supports the delivery of a campaign for a permanent citizens’ assembly in Greater Manchester. Working closely with the Head of Organising and the wider organising and campaigns team, the Organiser will help engage existing supporters, reach new people, and support the practical delivery of organising activities and administration (keeping records and contact lists, etc).

The role is focused on implementation and support, rather than campaign strategy, senior political representation (i.e. this is not a lobbying campaign), or organisational decision-making. The postholder will contribute to base-building and supporter engagement while developing their organising skills within a supportive team environment.

Responsibilities

• Support the delivery of organising activity in Greater Manchester, including door-knocking, stalls, meetings, and events.

• Help deliver new supporter briefings, both online and offline, using materials and formats developed by the organising and campaigns team.

• Carry out one-to-one conversations with supporters to build relationships, understand motivations, and encourage involvement.

• Support the organisation and facilitation of local campaign meetings and activities.

• Assist with maintaining contact with supporters and community groups, with responsibility for relationship ownership remaining with senior campaign staff.

• Gather feedback and insights from supporters and share these with the Head of Organising and campaigns team.

• Support campaign actions and moments identified by the organising and campaigns team.

• Assist with administrative and logistical tasks related to campaign delivery, as required.

• Feed into strategic reflection and development as part of a team of equals.

Essential skills, experience and attributes

• Experience of community organising, campaigning, volunteering, or grassroots engagement (paid or unpaid).

• Willingness to use face-to-face organising methods, including door-knocking and public outreach.

• Ability to build rapport with a wide range of people and listen with curiousity and care.

• Clear and confident communicator, able to explain ideas in an accessible way.

• Comfortable working as part of a small team and participating in strategic development, and following agreed strategic direction.

• Reliable and organised, with the ability to manage tasks independently with appropriate support.

• Willingness to work flexible hours as required by the campaign.

• Previous relationship with and/or close knowledge of Greater Manchester and its communities.

• A commitment to Sortition Foundation’s values of social justice and collective wisdom, and its cultural values of courage, curiosity, and care.

Desirable skills, experience and attributes

• Experience supporting or participating in organising or campaigning projects.

• Familiarity with deliberative democracy, citizens’ assemblies, or related ideas.

• Connections to community groups or networks in Greater Manchester or the North West.

• An interest in developing facilitation and organising skills over time.

Working style

This is a hybrid, community-based role, combining flexible home working with regular in-person organising across Greater Manchester. The role is suitable for someone looking to grow their organising experience within a supportive and collaborative team.
