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.

• 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.

OPERATIONS MANAGER

We are seeking an enthusiastic, compassionate person, with good attention to detail and a track record of supporting and motivating staff and a desire to make a difference to the homeless and vulnerably housed.

About The Bridge Homelessness To Hope

We began in 2008 with a mission to help people who are homeless in Leicester by providing them with hot food, drinks and most importantly, companionship and we have evolved from there to the service we provide today.

Our staff team and volunteers derive from many backgrounds and religions, all with one common goal: to help those who are on the street move from despair to hope.

We are an outreach to the homeless and to those who just have nowhere to go and no-one to turn to. Through our Hub we support those who are hardest to reach by seeking to:​

· Overcome the barriers to engagement encountered with more traditional service models.

· Be a place where guests (never service users or clients) can feel secure, trustful and not feel judged.

· Run services that are supplied by people who understand their challenges and are empathetic to them.

Our services are designed to support our guests in making long-term, sustainable improvements to their lives.

Our vision is for everyone to have a place they can call home and hope for the future, with an aim to support the most isolated and marginalised people that often have no one else to turn to.

We do this by offering a safe place to support people in crisis, helping people make long-term, sustainable improvements to their lives, and by developing accessible mental health services.

Hours: Full-time - 37.5 hours per week - Monday to Friday (occasional Saturdays where operational needs dictate).
