The role is an exciting opportunity for a pro-active and flexible individual to use their patient support knowledge, experience and organisational skills to build support networks to help those with bladder cancer.

Bladder cancer is not a rare cancer – but it does have a low profile, lack of awareness, low research investment and desperately needs new treatments.  Over 20,300 people are diagnosed each year in the UK, half of those will die.  There is a lack of information and support for patients.  Help Action Bladder Cancer UK to change this.

Reporting to the Chief Executive, you will be working as part of a great team and helping us to provide the support that bladder cancer patients (and the health professionals who treat them) need.  Duties will include: building and maintaining regional networks and contacts; liaising with hospitals and cancer centres; setting up and sustaining bladder cancer patient support groups; attending and organising awareness and patient support events and helping create our patient information materials (and making sure they reach the right people). 

About you

You’ll need to be flexible, enthusiastic, with a friendly and efficient personality and happy to work for a small, growing, charity.   You’ll like getting things done, working to goals and helping to drive ABC UK’s much-needed work.  You will be in contact with a range of different people including volunteers, patients, health professionals and other organisations.  The successful candidate will be friendly and approachable, able to work flexibly and with resilience and efficiency, be professional at all times, and work to our very high standards.  You will be empathetic and understanding of the needs of cancer patients and how best to deliver this in practical terms.

You’ll have the flair to have ideas about new ways to support patients and engage health professionals but be grounded in good systems and processes.  You will be flexible and pro-active, be focused on delivering your own objectives and also to work closely with colleagues.  You will need excellent organisational and planning skills and be very good at communicating.

For this role, you will be primarily home-based with some travel for meetings, events and networking.  You will be happy to work on your own and also as part of a team, with frequent online catch-ups and some face-to-face.

You will work across our patient support programme and will have the opportunity to develop your role within the programme whilst working collaboratively with colleagues, patient volunteers and health professionals.  We are looking for someone to become an important part of our small and friendly team, who is passionate about our work and about supporting patients with bladder cancer.

About us

Action Bladder Cancer UK is a UK charity working to make life better for bladder cancer patients and to provide a voice for those with bladder cancer, and their families. Our work has four strands:

Prospectus are delighted to be supporting Kinship as they look to appoint their first ever COO. This is a vital position within the organisation to help shape and drive robust processes and systems to support the charity thrive.

More children are growing up in kinship care as an alternative to the care system. Kinship care keeps children in the family, leads to better outcomes and economic benefits. Yet kinship care has been marginalised and poorly supported for too long. It's time for change.

During the pandemic they spoke out for kinship carers, secured funds and extended support services across England and into Wales. They are proud to have advised and supported more kinship carers than ever before. Kinship are determined to build on it. In March 2021 they changed their name to stand with kinship carers, to tackle invisibility and fight for support. Their bold new name signals their unwavering commitment to kinship carers and the children they are raising.

We are seeking a values-driven, commercially-minded, strategic and forward-thinking COO. Following a sustained period of organisational growth and impact, and at a time of unprecedented interest in kinship care, you will lead on financial and business planning and organisational performance. You will lead the delivery and development of our finance function, digital transformation and our People Strategy.

We're looking for somebody with the experience and understanding of what a growing organisation needs to scale successfully as Kindship deliver their new growth and impact strategy for 2022-25.

The successful candidate will be an inspiring leader, with change management experience, and excellent people management skills. You'll thrive in a fast-paced environment and inspire those around you with a strategic and commercial mindset. You will have strong financial acumen with previous experience of overseeing finance, operations and IT functions.

Now is the time to invest. Kingship's strengths are their unique social action approach, their pioneering programmes developed and delivered in collaboration with kinship carers and local authorities, their unrivalled breadth and depth of engagement with kinship carers, kinship care professionals and academics. They are leading the improvement of support on the ground, delivering impact and building evidence for investment in kinship care. They are building a powerful movement of kinship carers and young people.
