Hybrid working with regular travel to our London Bridge Office

What the job involves

We’re looking for a Peer Support Senior Officer (Online Community) to join our team and help us provide high-quality support to men and their loved ones navigating prostate cancer.

The Peer Support team plays a vital role in connecting men and their loved ones to others with lived experience of prostate cancer. We do this through our One-to-One Peer Support service which matches anyone affected by prostate cancer to our trained volunteers with a similar experience and more recently our Online Community, a website-based discussion forum that provides a space for men and their loved ones to share their experiences and find support.

As a Peer Support Senior Officer (Online Community), you’ll focus on assisting the Peer Support Manager with the development and integration of our Online Community into our wider support services. Once up and running, you’ll take the lead on the day-to-day management and moderation of the community. You’ll work closely with users to understand what they need from the platform, and you’ll be key in shaping it into a safe, welcoming and supportive space where people affected by prostate cancer can connect.

You’ll also develop policies and guidelines to ensure safe and respectful interactions, recruit and support volunteer moderators, and work with other teams to share helpful news, resources and health information on the forum. You’ll use analytics and user feedback to improve the platform and support its growth, while staying informed about best practice and emerging trends in online communities.

While the strong focus of this role will be the Online Community, you’ll also help deliver our One-to-One Peer Support service, triaging enquiries, matching service users with trained peer volunteers who’ve experienced prostate cancer and help with volunteer onboarding and coordination. 

What we want from you

We’re looking for someone with experience managing an online community or similar digital support service. You’ll be comfortable providing information and support to people who may be facing difficult or emotional circumstances, and you’ll understand the importance of creating a safe and inclusive space for users to connect and share.

You’ll bring a good understanding of digital engagement, knowing how to encourage community growth and participation, and you’ll be comfortable using data and insights to guide improvements. You’ll also have experience collecting and monitoring service data to help shape decisions and measure impact.

Excellent communication skills, both written and spoken, are essential. You’ll know how to engage sensitively with people who have lived experience, making sure their voices are reflected in how services are developed and delivered. You’ll also be able to work collaboratively across teams, building relationships with internal colleagues and external partners, and supporting cross-functional projects.

You’ll need to be organised and able to manage a varied workload. A flexible, responsive approach is key, and experience supporting or supervising volunteers would be a plus.

While you don’t need to be a clinical expert, a basic understanding of cancer care in the UK, and an awareness of how inequalities can affect access to health and support services, will help you approach the role with the insight and sensitivity it requires.

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.

Part time role for 21 hours/three days per week, for a committed, motivated and suitably qualified individual to deliver counselling for people dealing with issues related to their sexual health, including people living with HIV.

We are seeking a committed, motivated and suitably qualified individual to deliver counselling for people dealing with issues related to their sexual health, including people living with HIV within the Support and Advice on Sexual Health (SASH) programme.  

The post holder will deliver high-quality person-centred service within a busy inner London environment. The clients are from diverse communities affected by sexual health and mental health issues. The role will support staff to work with people from diverse communities such as LGBTQ+ and the Global Majorities.

Turning Point is the lead partner for the contract, and a matrix staffing model is in place.

Are you a fantastic leader who is passionate about supporting young people into employment in the Health and Social Care sector?

The King's Trust is currently going through an exciting period of development. We have ambitions to grow our offer to young people by providing a blended approach of face-to-face and digital delivery and support. To help us on this journey we are looking for passionate and motivated individuals to lead our dynamic teams to work with young people either directly through 121 work or the delivery of programmes.

This role incorporates our partnership with the Department of Health where we are working to support 10,000 young people into the sector.  We need a fantastic leader to help us achieve our ambitions across East Midlands- with particular focus on Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, Derby City, Leicester City and Peterborough, and ensure the success of our Health and Social Care programmes and partnerships.

This role will involve leading a small team of delivery staff working to support young people in the East Midlands. We are passionate about flexible working but it’s worth being aware that this role will be based across Nottingham, Derby, and Leicester, and you will be required to travel across the patch to support your team and our delivery partners. 

As part of the Leadership Team, you will be responsible for overseeing the delivery of our Health and Social Care programmes, in line with contractual requirements. You will lead the Health and Social Care team to develop and implement our delivery plan and ensure we meet targets, ensuring that every young person engaged progresses with an appropriate pathway of learning and development and one to one support. You will be a role model for your team, demonstrating best practice in how we work with young people in a safe way to ensure we deliver maximum value for young people and partners.

A background in employment-based programmes and/or knowledge of the Healthcare sector would be great as well as the ability to build and sustain stakeholder relationships and inspire colleagues.

To be successful in the role of Delivery Manager, you will be able to engage in challenges with optimism and resilience and be adaptive and flexible – embracing change and innovation.

If you are up for a challenge and working in a great team, we would love to hear from you!

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.

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.

· 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.

· 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
