£28,860 per year (London Living Wage)
Permanent full-time (37.5 hours per week)
Hybrid working with 3 days a week in our London Bridge Office
What the job involves
We’re looking for a Junior Developer to join our Technology and Solutions team and help colleagues across the charity make better use of data, systems and automation. You’ll work alongside our small development team, reporting to the Product and Delivery Manager and supported by experienced technical colleagues.
You’ll contribute across the full development lifecycle, from understanding requirements and writing code to testing, deployment and support. You’ll develop and maintain software applications and automation, troubleshoot issues, document solutions and respond to first-line requests involving data development and analysis. You’ll also help improve SharePoint and Microsoft 365 processes and work with tools such as Microsoft SQL Server, PHP, Power Automate, TOCA.IO and Copilot Studio.
As our use of AI develops, you’ll help identify, prototype and test practical solutions that reduce manual effort and improve how teams work, while making sure they are accurate, safe, well documented and used with appropriate human oversight.
This is a hands-on development opportunity where you’ll build your technical skills, share learning and see the practical difference your work makes across the charity.
What we want from you
You’ll be at the beginning of your technology career, with demonstrable IT skills gained through formal study, a bootcamp, self-directed learning or practical experience. You’ll have good programming fundamentals, an understanding of the software development lifecycle and some familiarity with software development tools, methods, databases or automation technologies.
We’re looking for someone who is naturally curious, thoughtful in their approach to problem-solving and attentive to detail. You’ll be comfortable working both independently and collaboratively, asking questions, sharing ideas and learning from others. You’ll be able to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical colleagues and will be motivated to keep developing your knowledge and skills.
Experience with tools such as SQL Server, PHP, Power Automate, SharePoint, robotic automation or AI platforms would be an advantage, but you won’t be expected to know everything from day one. Most importantly, you’ll be eager to learn, generous in sharing your knowledge and committed to using technology responsibly to make a positive difference.
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.
How and where we work
Colleagues attend the office at least four days per month (pro rata for part-time colleagues) to collaborate, build relationships, and support projects and decision-making. You can choose where to work the rest of the time. Travel to the office is a commute, so we pay our own travel costs.
Additional in-person attendance will be required during your first few months for induction and training, to support you to learn the role and get to know colleagues.
We trust colleagues to work flexibly while balancing personal commitments with the needs of the charity, and we are committed to making reasonable adjustments for colleagues with a disability, neurodiversity, or a long-term physical or mental health condition.

Our commitment to diversity and Guaranteed Interview Scheme
Diversity is one of our core values as an organisation and we are committed to creating an inclusive working environment where diversity is valued and there is equality of opportunity. We also recognise that the climate and ecological crisis disproportionately impacts minority and/or marginalised communities – yet these voices are largely underrepresented in the sector. Currently, the environmental sector is the second least diverse in the UK, with just 4.8% of employees from ethnic minority backgrounds. If the environmental movement is to succeed in creating a greener future that supports society as a whole, we need diverse voices at the heart of our programmes. We therefore encourage people from demographics that are currently underrepresented in the environmental movement to apply.
We particularly encourage applications from people from ethnic minority backgrounds or living with a disability or long-term health conditions. We will offer an interview to any candidates from ethnic minority backgrounds or living with a disability who opt into our Guaranteed Interview Scheme when applying and who meet the essential criteria for this role.
If you would like further information, support with access requirements, such as an adjustment to the application or interview process, or an informal chat, please get in touch.
