Job description

Prostate Cancer Research exists to honour the men and families who have been through things no family should have to go through, and to work for a future where no one needs to fear a prostate cancer diagnosis. 

We are always working to provide resources to help, support and empower patients. Giving them the information they need to make better choices about their treatment, while working to identify and target specific unmet needs in the prostate cancer ecosystem, such as racial inequality and bone metastasis. 

Our dedicated staff team is the key to our success, expanding the amount of research that we fund five times over in four years. Over the past three years, PCR has won:  

  • the Change Project of the year award in 2023 
  • the Excellence in Healthcare Partnerships award at the Communiqué 2025 awards 
  • Fundraiser of the Year award at the National Fundraiser Awards 2026   
  • The Mark Collins Award for Most Powerful Use of Insight to Improve Supporter Experience at the Chartered Institute of Fundraising Awards 2026 

Marketing & Communications Manager Role 

This is an exciting opportunity to help shape the voice, profile and public presence of one of the UK’s leading prostate cancer charities at a pivotal moment in its growth. 

As Marketing & Communications Manager, you will lead and deliver dynamic, integrated marketing and communications activity that raises awareness, strengthens our brand, supports fundraising growth and positions Prostate Cancer Research (PCR) as a trusted and influential voice in prostate cancer research and patient advocacy. 

Working across the organisation, you will bring campaigns, stories and partnerships to life through compelling content, proactive media outreach and audience-focused communications. From coordinating awareness campaigns and celebrity engagement to developing press releases, managing digital channels and responding to media opportunities, this is a varied, fast-paced role with real impact. 

You will play a central role in ensuring PCR remains visible, relevant and influential, helping us reach new audiences, inspire supporters, amplify patient voices and ultimately drive change for men affected by prostate cancer. 

Why join us? 

This is a chance to join one of the UK’s fastest-growing charities at an exciting stage in our journey. Ambitious, innovative and purpose-driven, we are working to change the future of prostate cancer through groundbreaking research, powerful partnerships and bold awareness activity. You’ll be part of a passionate and collaborative team delivering meaningful work every day.

Media & PR

  • Draft press releases, media statements, briefing documents and reactive comments as needed.
  • Support proactive media outreach and identify opportunities to secure media coverage and raise PCR’s profile.
  • Build and maintain positive relationships with journalists, media outlets and external partners.
  • Monitor the news and identify opportunities for PCR to contribute expert comment and thought leadership.

  • Uphold and strengthen PCR’s brand identity across all communications and platforms.
  • Manage and grow PCR’s ambassador, celebrity and case study programmes.
  • Identify, recruit and steward compelling patient stories and supporter case studies.
  • Support photography and video shoots to ensure content is impactful, inclusive and aligned with the brand.
  • Work closely with ambassadors and celebrity supporters to maximise engagement, visibility and campaign impact.

Cross-organisational support 

  • Partner with fundraising, research, patient projects and influencing teams to deliver coordinated communications support.
  • Develop marketing materials and storytelling assets to support fundraising campaigns, partnerships and events.
  • Identify opportunities for greater collaboration, integration and impact cross-organisationally.
  • Support the delivery of a future brand review and refresh project if required. 

Skills and Competencies 

Our ideal candidate would have the following: 

  • Experience in a marketing, communications, PR or media role, ideally within the charity, healthcare or not-for-profit sector.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to create compelling, audience-focused content.
