Who we are:

The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust is a national charity that inspires young people aged 8-24 to imagine a new future through and beyond cancer treatment. When treatment ends our work begins, as for many young people simply picking up where they left off before their diagnosis just isn’t possible.

Through sailing and other outdoor activities, the Trust empowers young people to make friends with others who have had similar experiences (often for the first time), learn new skills, push their physical and mental boundaries, rebuild confidence and rediscover independence. Crucially, they stop feeling like the ‘only one’ and realise what they are capable of again. They can start looking positively towards the future.

The Trust has two bases - in Cowes on the Isle of Wight and Largs on Scotland’s West Coast – and employs a full-time team of 19. A number of seasonal staff are also recruited for the Trust’s main trip season (June-September).

• Make meaningful connections with more young people
• Secure a diverse and robust income stream
• Improve the impact of our work

An exciting time to join, this new role will lead on our ambitious Trust and Grant income stream, working alongside the Philanthropy Fundraiser to share learnings and workload. Joining a small fundraising team, this role will have a meaningful impact in helping achieve our ambitious strategy and make a significant difference to young people living through and beyond cancer across the UK.

Why us?

The Trust is a close-knit and friendly organisation, which has a wide network of committed and passionate volunteers, and this ‘Trust family’ extends to our dedicated supporters and beneficiaries. Joining the Trust team provides the opportunity to see first-hand the ways in which the funding you secure enables young people to start to imagine a new future through and beyond cancer. From joining a trip during the summer, to attending the annual volunteer training day or fundraising events, staff can get fully involved and play their part as an integral member of the wider Trust team throughout the year.

Application process:

The successful applicant will be required to undertake a satisfactory enhanced DBS / PVG check and annual safeguarding training. References will be required.

We value equality, diversity and inclusion and oppose prejudice. We strive to be more representative of all of the young people we support from across the UK and are committed to being an anti-racist organisation.
