Family support team leader jobs

Every day, Black men face stark inequalities in prostate cancer care - 1 in 4 will be diagnosed, and they’re more likely to be diagnosed at a later stage. At Prostate Cancer UK, we’re determined to change that. Our new Black Health Equity Strategy 2025–2030 is bold, ambitious, and shaped by Black men for Black men. As Programme Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in turning this vision into reality, leading projects that save lives and transform experiences.

What the job involves

As Black Health Equity Programme Manager, you’ll be at the heart of delivering our bold new Black Health Equity Strategy 2025–2030, designed by Black men, for Black men. This is a hands-on role where you’ll turn strategy into action, ensuring that every milestone is met and every programme makes a real difference.

You’ll:

• Lead delivery of projects tackling health inequalities, from early diagnosis initiatives to culturally informed support programmes.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams across Health Services, Fundraising, Communications, and Finance to keep everything on track.
• Manage impact reporting, ensuring we measure what matters and share results with senior stakeholders.
• Line manage a Senior Impact Officer, coaching and developing talent.
• Represent the charity at key meetings and events, acting as a trusted ambassador for Black health equity.

Expect to work on projects that eradicate treatment disparities, improve quality of life through personalised support, and ensure Black men are diagnosed early. This is your chance to make a tangible impact on health equity.

What we want from you

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Passionate about health equity and motivated to champion change for Black men.
• Experienced in programme management, with the ability to lead complex projects and manage multiple stakeholders.
• Skilled in communication, able to translate technical detail into clear, compelling messages.
• Knowledgeable in public health or health equity, with relevant qualifications or experience.
• A natural leader who is solutions-focused, calm under pressure, and committed to continuous improvement.
• Tech-savvy with working knowledge of Microsoft Office tools.
• An advocate for equity, diversity, and inclusion, bringing an open mind and collaborative spirit.

If you’re ambitious, driven, and ready to help us deliver life-changing outcomes, we’d love to hear from you.

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.

We are all expected to be in the office (SE1 2QN) 4 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.
