About Make 2nds Count

Make 2nds Count is a patient and family focused charity dedicated to giving hope to women and men living with secondary breast cancer.

We strive to do this by raising awareness and funding medical research that will contribute to advancing an increased quality of life for patients. Our community programme supports patients and families affected by this incurable disease.

Secondary breast cancer, also known as metastatic, advanced or stage IV breast cancer, is a cancer that has spread beyond the breast to other parts of the body. Parts of the body affected are usually the bones, liver, lungs, brain or the skin. Secondary breast cancer can be treated but it cannot be cured.

Job Overview

Doctors of the World UK is part of the global Médecins du Monde network, which delivers over 300 projects in more than 70 countries through 3,000 volunteers.

Our vision is of a world in which vulnerable people affected by war, natural disasters, disease, hunger, poverty or exclusion get the healthcare they need.

Through our health programmes and advocacy, we work to ensure excluded people overcome barriers to realising their right to healthcare. Since opening in the UK in 1998, we’ve raised £6m for overseas programmes, helped 7,000 service users here and fought for healthcare as a human right for all.

We work with and for:

• people in crisis, providing life-saving humanitarian healthcare in times of war and after natural disasters
• migrants in vulnerable situations, including by advocating for the right to healthcare across Europe
• people at risk of harm, especially from HIV and AIDS or hepatitis C, such as drug users and sex workers
• women and girls’ right to sexual and reproductive health

We believe that every person living in the UK has the right to healthcare, and we work to influence public policy and local implementation to reduce health inequalities and ensure access to healthcare for all.

The Fundraising Manager role is a crucial part of the team, focusing on driving individual giving and community fundraising through social media platforms and the management, development and engagement of our email and direct mail supporter base.

We are a fun and friendly bunch in a small, but high-performing fundraising team with a significant portfolio of opportunities, which support our UK and international programmes and campaigns. We’re looking for a great new colleague, with a passion for raising funds and an appetite to help us reach new and diverse audiences to grow our supporter base and unrestricted income.
