 What the job involves

This fixed-term role is a great opportunity for an experienced ER specialist who enjoys making things clearer, fairer and easier for managers and colleagues. We’re a big charity with a small well-managed ER caseload, so the focus is less on high-volume casework and more on strengthening the foundations that help people do their best work.

You’ll lead improvements following a recent ER audit, making our policies, processes, guidance and reporting clearer, more consistent and easier to use.

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

Colleagues attend the office at least four days per month (pro rata for part-time colleagues) to collaborate, build relationships, and support projects and decision-making. You can choose where to work the rest of the time. Travel to the office is a commute, so we pay our own travel costs.

Additional in-person attendance will be required during your first few months for induction and training, to support you to learn the role and get to know colleagues.

We trust colleagues to work flexibly while balancing personal commitments with the needs of the charity, and we are committed to making reasonable adjustments for colleagues with a disability, neurodiversity, or a long-term physical or mental health condition.

We actively encourage applications from individuals with diverse backgrounds and ensure reasonable adjustments are made to support candidates with disabilities throughout the recruitment process. We actively recruit citizens of all backgrounds, but the nature of our work in specific departments means that residency and security requirements can be more tightly defined than others. You will be asked about this throughout the recruitment process.

Day Opportunities Senior Manager 

Are you ready to lead a service where people come first?

At London Ability, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to live a full and valued life, with meaningful experiences, real choices and the right support to achieve their potential. We work in partnership with the people we support, recognising strengths, encouraging independence and always putting our clients at the heart of what we do.

Our strapline, “It’s what you can do that matters.” is more than just words on page, it’s the belief that underpins everything we do, and reflected in our values and the way we work.

Over the last 40 years, we have provided services and support for adults with Learning Disabilities, Autism and additional physical and sensory disabilities, working alongside our clients to create meaningful opportunities, encourage independence and recognise everyone’s strengths and potential.

We’re equally committed to creating a great place to work and in 2024, London Ability received national recognition from Investor in People as one of the UK’s Top 20 Employers.
