We are seeking an experienced and driven Programme Manager to lead the delivery and development of our nationally recognised wellbeing services for young people living with and beyond cancer.

As a fast-growing, mission-led charity, we provide tailored support across mental health, physical rehabilitation, nutrition, and wellbeing. Our work is informed by lived experience and driven by our mission that every young adult with cancer and their families/carers have the tools and support they need to live well and feel empowered.

This is a hands-on leadership role that spans both strategy and delivery. As Programme Manager, you’ll be just as comfortable setting direction alongside the CEO as you are managing day-to-day operations, responding to referrals, producing digital content, or coordinating events. You’ll take ownership of services that are already changing lives - and have real scope to shape and scale them as we grow.

If you’re a proactive and adaptable programme lead who thrives in a collaborative, fast-paced environment - and you’re ready to roll up your sleeves to make a meaningful difference - we’d love to hear from you.

What You’ll Be Doing

As Programme Manager, you’ll be at the heart of our charity’s operations. You will:

· Lead and evolve a suite of support services (Feel Well, Move Well, Eat Well, Live Well), ensuring delivery is safe, inclusive, and high quality

· Manage the referral process and beneficiary pathways, ensuring safeguarding, responsiveness, and positive outcomes

· Develop and manage systems to collect, analyse, evaluate, and present impact data to inform service improvement and reporting.

· Shape strategy and contribute to service innovation, growth, and long-term sustainability

· Build and maintain strong partnerships with wellbeing providers, community organisations, and external stakeholders

· Lead our digital presence – overseeing social media, website content, campaigns, and communications (either directly or by coordinating volunteers/students)

· Contribute to charity-wide operations, including policy, governance, safeguarding, and internal reporting in support of the CEO

· Support campaigns, events, fundraising activity, and cross-organisational projects that promote engagement and sustainability.

You will be a key player in helping us grow, scale our reach, and ensure every young person we support feels seen, safe, and supported.

What Success Looks Like

· High-impact services delivered consistently and safely

· Strong data-driven decisions that improve outcomes

· Powerful stakeholder relationships and seamless service pathways

· Growth in our online presence and campaign engagement

· Strategic projects launched that amplify our mission

· Clear contribution to financial sustainability and organisational development

What we’re looking for:

We’re seeking a confident and capable individual who brings a blend of leadership, creativity, operational focus, and a commitment to excellence.

Essential:

· Proven experience managing and delivering health & wellbeing or support programmes

· Strong leadership, organisational, and strategic planning skills

· Excellent written and verbal communication skills

· Experience in digital marketing, content creation, and social media

· Ability to collect, analyse and report data to drive improvements

· Sound knowledge of safeguarding, compliance, and charity operations

· A committed team player with a passion for making a difference

· Adaptable, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple priorities and responding to emerging needs in a small, purpose-driven team.

Desirable:

· Experience supporting young people affected by cancer or within a health-related setting

· Knowledge of partnership development, fundraising, or campaign delivery

· Proficiency in using CRM systems, Excel, design platforms (e.g. Canva), CMS, and digital marketing tools

· Relevant qualifications in public health, youth work, social care, or related fields

· Ability to travel to Huddersfield and partner sites as required

Why Join Us?

· Be part of a fast-growing, values-driven organisation making a national impact

OVERVIEW OF THE ROLE

Beacon is now in its second decade and has grown substantially over the last three years, including a rebrand and expansion into international projects. To support this growth, we are seeking a highly organised, proactive, and intuitive Admin & Operations Officer to help ensure the smooth running of our daily activities and core functions.

This varied role spans many aspects of our work, from administration and resource management to supporting the systems and tools that keep Beacon working efficiently. You’ll work across the charity, supporting our executive leadership, projects teams, and fundraising activities, as well as and ensuring colleagues have the information and resources they need to deliver for our beneficiaries.

The successful candidate will play a key role in the day-to-day running of the charity and in supporting senior staff. As you settle into the role, you’ll have opportunities to develop skills in areas such as financial management, executive support, relationship management, stewardship, or project logistics, depending on your interests and the charity’s needs.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone at an early stage of their career, with full training and support provided. You’ll gain experience with a wide range of platforms and processes – from finance tools, databases, and information management – making it a great foundation for building broad, transferable skills in the charity sector. Where possible, you’ll also have the chance to get involved in other aspects of our work, offering valuable insight into how a small but ambitious organisation operates.

We also welcome applications from experienced administrators, operations professionals, or executive assistants. Such candidates may be appointed as Senior Operations Officer, with additional responsibilities and a higher salary.

PERSON SPECIFICATION

This is an excellent opportunity for someone at an early stage of their career who is eager to learn and grow within a supportive team. We’re looking for a proactive and organised individual who can take ownership of their work, spot opportunities to improve processes, and contribute positively to all areas of the charity.

Essential

•   Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple priorities, monitor timelines, and meet deadlines independently. 
•   Self-motivated and able to work proactively, showing initiative to identify needs, address issues, and make improvements to processes and systems.
•   Strong written communication and record-keeping, skills with the ability to convey information clearly and professionally.

• Understanding of rare diseases, health charities, or small-organisation dynamics.

Experienced candidates

We welcome applications from candidates with proven experience in administration, operations, or executive support roles, who are interested in a Senior Admin & Operations Officer position.

For this level, we are looking for demonstrated competence in  managing complex administrative tasks, coordinating across teams, and supporting senior leadership with minimal supervision. Senior Admin & Operations Officers should be confident in taking initiative, driving improvements, and handling a broader range of responsibilities. 

WORKING AT BEACON

Beacon is a small, tight-knit team, with a friendly atmosphere and strong commitment to our beneficiaries. We aim to give all employees opportunities to pursue their interests, develop their skills, and shape their career path.

We offer flexible working practices to help our staff balance their personal and professional lives, including hybrid working and flexible hours. While our hybrid policy requires all staff to work in the office at least two days per week, the high level of cross-team collaboration, executive support responsibilities, and office management duties involved in the Operations Officer role mean that regular in-person attendance is particularly important.

After the initial in-person onboarding period, we’d like this role to be based in the office for around three days a week on average, though not necessarily every single week, to help maintain effective teamwork and smooth daily operations.
