About us
We are Pancreatic Cancer UK. We go above and beyond for everyone affected by this disease.
Right now, half of people with pancreatic cancer die within three months of diagnosis. Families are left with only hope to hold onto. They need more. So we do more.
We bring more break throughs through research, more change through campaigning and more support through our expert nurses.
We make more noise because people have gone unheard. We are relentless because the disease is ruthless. We care more because people feel forgotten.
Because people with pancreatic cancer need more than hope.
Underpinning this vision are our three values:
- Courage
- Compassion
- Community
We cannot achieve our vision without employing people who are committed to our vision, strategy, and values.
At Pancreatic Cancer UK (PCUK) our ambition is to create an inclusive working environment that reflects the communities and audiences that we engage with and where everyone can be their true selves, where they feel respected, championed, heard, and supported. We want our workforce to achieve their potential, understand their contribution and feel proud of their impact by creating a culture and organisation that is genuinely inclusive by advancing equality, diversity, inclusion, and belonging through our policies and practices.
We believe diversity drives great outcomes by encouraging the different points of view that come from a diverse workforce. We want to hear from and engage with people whose experience of dealing with this disease may be very different depending on their individual circumstances and background. We can think of no better way to do this than by making sure this role fully represents our intent; therefore, we are especially keen to consider applications from suitable applicants who consider themselves to be in areas that appear underrepresented within the charity sector.
Safeguarding
PCUK is committed to safe and fair recruitment processes that safeguard and protect those we work with, support and serve.

About us
We are Pancreatic Cancer UK. We go above and beyond for everyone affected by this disease.
Right now, half of people with pancreatic cancer die within three months of diagnosis. Families are left with only hope to hold onto. They need more. So we do more.
We bring more break throughs through research, more change through campaigning and more support through our expert nurses.
We make more noise because people have gone unheard. We are relentless because the disease is ruthless. We care more because people feel forgotten.
Because people with pancreatic cancer need more than hope.
- Courage
- Compassion
- Community
We cannot achieve our vision without employing people who are committed to our vision, strategy, and values.
At Pancreatic Cancer UK (PCUK) our ambition is to create an inclusive working environment that reflects the communities and audiences that we engage with and where everyone can be their true selves, where they feel respected, championed, heard, and supported. We want our workforce to achieve their potential, understand their contribution and feel proud of their impact by creating a culture and organisation that is genuinely inclusive by advancing equality, diversity, inclusion, and belonging through our policies and practices.
We believe diversity drives great outcomes by encouraging the different points of view that come from a diverse workforce. We want to hear from and engage with people whose experience of dealing with this disease may be very different depending on their individual circumstances and background. We can think of no better way to do this than by making sure this role fully represents our intent; therefore, we are especially keen to consider applications from suitable applicants who consider themselves to be in areas that appear underrepresented within the charity sector.

Empowering independence through trauma-informed solutions and dynamic partnerships that keep people out of prison, out of hospital and off the streets
The Christian Young Leaders Programme is a new workstream focused on equipping, resourcing, and commissioning 4,500 young leaders (school years 9-13) for mission and ministry with children and young people by 2030. These young leaders will join the programme through churches, youth work, and educational settings, contributing to 15% of the overall 30k target by 2030.
At its heart, this programme expresses the conviction that young people are a full part of the Body of Christ, not future members of the Church but active disciples and leaders within the church. Initial design work for the programme has been developed in partnership with colleagues from Vision & Strategy, Education (the National Society), the Ministry Development Team, and a range of parachurch organisations. The programme will build on best practice from dioceses, schools, and local church contexts, ensuring safeguarding and inclusion remain central to every aspect.
The Young Leader Programme Lead will lead this new Christian Young Leaders programme from pioneering pilots through to full scale delivery across the Church of England to enable 4500 young people to grow in their faith and engage in mission and ministry with children and young people by 2030.
The post-holder will lead a national Christian formation programme for young leaders that becomes locally owned which helps young people grow in confident faith and discover their gifts as they contribute to being change-makers in the life of the Church and the wider community.
Key to our approach is a commitment to build upon existing good practice in dioceses, schools, and local church contexts and to ensure that young people's voices are heard throughout the process. Alongside this, we are committed to ensuring that safeguarding and inclusion are central to every aspect of the programme.
This is a fixed-term position until 31 Dec 2028
Interviews will be held on Monday 02 March

- Ensure the Christian formation programme is engaging, inspiring, and integrates strong Christian themes and theological threads throughout.
- Co-ordinate and manage national and regional gatherings and networking opportunities to maximise the missional impact of this Christian leadership programme.
- Lead the development of resources, branding, and communications to promote the programme nationally.
- Build collaborative partnerships with dioceses, schools and Christian youth organisations to deliver the programme locally.
- Ensure close coordination with the wider 30k Project, Ministry Development Team, Vision and Strategy, Growing Faith Foundation, and Education Team initiatives.
