Permanent, full-time (37.5 hours per week)

Hybrid working between home and our London Bridge Office with some travel to other locations 

What the job involves 

You’ll lead our work to make clinical research more inclusive, increasing the participation of underrepresented communities - initially with a strong focus on recruiting Black men to the TRANSFORM Trial.

As part of your role, you'll:

• develop and implement evidence-led strategies to improve representation, recruitment and participation in our funded trials and research studies 

• act as our subject matter expert on equitable trial recruitment, embedding equity into research planning and delivery 

• work with trial leads, Black clinicians, community organisations and advocacy groups to understand barriers, build trust and improve participation 

• design and support practical interventions that increase awareness, acceptance of invitations and recruitment of eligible Black men 

• establish clear measures and reporting processes, using recruitment and engagement data to recommend corrective action 

• build lasting capability through training, knowledge sharing, change management and strategic partnerships with research institutions 

• represent Prostate Cancer UK externally as a trusted voice on diversity and inclusion in clinical research 

What we want from you 

You’ll bring a strong understanding of inclusive patient engagement and the credibility to influence researchers, trial leads and community partners. We’re looking for someone who has: 

• a strong understanding of the UK healthcare system and patient pathways, and how these shape inclusive clinical trial design, recruitment and delivery 

• an understanding of the history of racism in research and how it continues to affect trust and participation among Black communities 

• experience in patient engagement or patient recruitment, particularly with underrepresented groups 

• strong stakeholder-management and influencing skills, including experience working with senior researchers, trial leads and external partners 

• clear, confident written and verbal communication skills, with the cultural humility to engage diverse audiences and build trust 

• the drive to identify opportunities, use initiative, solve problems and deliver work to a high standard 

• a collaborative and flexible approach, with a clear commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion and allyship 

Experience of clinical research or clinical trial recruitment, and a degree in a scientific discipline, would be 

helpful but are not essential. There is more information on what to include in your supporting statements in 

the 'how to apply' section in the advert on our website.

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.
