About Us
Head and neck cancer is one of the fastest-rising cancers in the UK, now affecting around 14,000 people every year — the 5th most common cancer among men, 7th overall, and the fastest growing among young people. Too often, symptoms are missed or misunderstood, and more than half of cases are diagnosed at a late stage. That means compromised survival rates, more invasive treatment, and a recovery that can mean a new way of eating, speaking and living.
Oracle Head & Neck Cancer UK exists to change that story. We work to prevent cancers where possible, drive earlier detection, and make sure people have clear information, support and guidance through and after treatment — so nobody has to cope in silence or confusion. We also fund groundbreaking research and collaborate across the sector to maximise our impact for patients.
As the only national charity dedicated to head and neck cancers, we're moving in an exciting new direction — and we have a unique opportunity to build an organisation that delivers maximum impact for patients and their families, while staying true to our roots.

Frazzled is a mental health and wellbeing charity founded by Ruby Wax OBE. We provide free, facilitated peer support meetings for people feeling overwhelmed by the stresses of modern life.
Our online and face-to-face meetings offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where people can share openly, listen to others and feel heard. Everything we do is underpinned by high-quality volunteer facilitation, thoughtful training and a supportive community.
As we continue to grow, we're looking for an organised, compassionate and proactive Programme Coordinator to help deliver and develop our programme of peer support meetings, while ensuring our volunteers feel confident, supported and connected.
Purpose of the role
The Programme Coordinator is responsible for the day-to-day coordination of Frazzled's online and face-to-face peer support programme.
Working closely with the Head of Programmes, you'll oversee Frazzled’s meeting schedules, recruit and support volunteer facilitators, coordinate training and onboarding, carry out regular observations and contribute to the continuous improvement of our programme. You'll play a key role in ensuring our services are delivered safely, consistently and in line with the Frazzled model.
This is a varied hands-on role that combines excellent organisation with relationship building, volunteer development and continuous improvement. You'll be equally comfortable organising complex schedules, supporting volunteers through challenging situations and contributing ideas that help our programmes continue to grow while staying true to what makes Frazzled unique.
Frazzled runs meetings from early morning until late evening, seven days a week. As a core part of this role involves observing and supporting facilitators as issues arise, some evening and weekend work will therefore be required as well as regular travel to our face-to-face sites across England.
We ask that you do not use AI to assist you in writing your application, as this role involves lots of written and verbal communication with stakeholders and we want to hear your authentic voice, rather than the same response multiple times.
Key Responsibilities

Coordinate the delivery of Frazzled's programme of online and face-to-face peer support meetings.
Manage facilitator schedules, ensuring meetings are appropriately staffed and volunteers are well supported.
Respond to day-to-day operational issues and work with colleagues to resolve them effectively.

Manage volunteer onboarding, including DBS checks, induction, training administration and access to systems.
Build positive relationships with volunteers, providing regular communication, encouragement and practical support.
Coordinate volunteer meetings, communications and other opportunities for connection and development.
Training, Coaching and Quality Assurance
Design, coordinate and deliver engaging facilitator training, refresher sessions and development workshops that bring the Frazzled model to life through discussion, reflection and practical learning.
Carry out regular facilitator observations, both online and in person, providing thoughtful and constructive feedback.
Support volunteers to develop their confidence, skills and understanding of the Frazzled model.
Identify and respond appropriately to safeguarding, wellbeing or performance concerns, escalating where necessary.
Help maintain the quality, consistency and integrity of all Frazzled meetings.
Programme Development
Contribute to the ongoing development of Frazzled's programme, systems and volunteer experience.
Review feedback, observations and programme data to identify opportunities for improvement.
Help develop resources, guidance and processes that support volunteers and improve programme delivery.
Help promote Frazzled sessions, both face to face and online.
Contribute ideas for new initiatives, projects and ways of working as Frazzled continues to grow.
Team Contribution
Work collaboratively with colleagues across the organisation to deliver high-quality programmes.
Manage the volunteer and public inbox
Support organisational projects and events where appropriate.
Contribute positively to a small, flexible team, taking ownership of work and supporting others when needed.

Exceptional organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and competing deadlines.
Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build trusting relationships with a wide range of people.

Good judgement, emotional intelligence and the ability to handle confidential information appropriately.
Experience improving systems, processes or ways of working.
Confidence using digital systems including Zoom, Google Workspace and online scheduling tools.
A commitment to Frazzled's values and an understanding of the importance of peer support, inclusion and psychological safety.

Please submit a CV and answer the questions attached to this job listing - we would recommend answers of no more than 200-300 words.
We ask that you attend at least one Frazzled meeting so you can see how our model works - we would welcome you attending and participating, rather than just observing the session to protect the space for other attendees.
We ask that you do not use AI to assist you in writing your application, as this role involves lots of written and verbal communication with stakeholders and we want to hear your authentic voice, rather than the same response multiple times. We look forward to hearing from you!

An exciting moment to join us
YMCA England & Wales is entering one of the most exciting chapters in its fundraising history, launching our ambition to create 10,000 new homes for young people. Working alongside local YMCAs, we will support the development of new accommodation across the federation, helping young people move towards independence.
This role sits at the heart of that ambition.
You will lead the fundraising behind two critical components of the 10,000 Homes programme:
• Securing income from the public to build and sustain a central Centre of Expertise (mobilisation team), supporting local YMCAs to develop and deliver housing projects.
• Raising capital from individual supporters, mid-level donors and major donors to grow a replenishing national fund that provides upfront investment to unlock housing developments across the federation.
At the centre of this is the 10,000 Homes Fund: a bold, housing-focused proposition that offers the public a clear and tangible way to support young people into safe, stable accommodation. You will be responsible for growing this proposition, ensuring it resonates strongly with supporters and inspires giving at all levels.
You will lead an integrated public fundraising approach, bringing together individual giving, mid-level and major donors into one compelling, housing-led narrative. A key part of the role will be translating a complex, federated model into a simple, emotional and compelling case for support that connects with people’s motivations to give.
We’ve established strong early foundations and are now ready to scale. This role offers the opportunity to take a high-potential public fundraising proposition to the next level -expanding its reach, deepening supporter engagement, and unlocking significant new income.
We are looking for someone who is creative, data-driven and passionate about engaging the public to drive meaningful change for young people. We’re looking for someone comfortable working in a federated environment, with the ability to simplify complex ideas into compelling messages for the public.
The role
As Assistant Head of Fundraising (Public Fundraising), you will lead and inspire a team of talented fundraisers, deputising for the Head of Fundraising and taking ownership of our most ambitious programmes:
The 10,000 Homes Fund driving forward our flagship proposition across individual giving, cash appeals and mid-level audiences.
Major Donors shaping the strategy for high-net-worth relationships, new giving circles and development boards.
RoomSponsor, YMCA’s flagship regular giving product, now in its third year of an ambitious growth strategy. You will oversee a unique partnership model across 45 local YMCAs, support the income distribution process, and see first-hand the impact of your work through a programme that directly supports young people with safe accommodation.
Legacies working with the Senior Fundraising Manager and Head of Fundraising to define and grow what is set to become a landmark legacy programme.
This is a hands-on leadership role: you will set direction, manage budgets, develop your team, while also being prepared to step into delivery when it matters most. You will balance strategic oversight with practical execution, ensuring programmes are both ambitious and deliverable.
About you
You are an experienced public fundraising professional with a strong track record in individual giving or direct marketing, alongside a well-developed understanding of major donor fundraising. You know how to bring different disciplines together behind a single proposition and deliver results.
You are an effective and confident leader, able to build, motivate and develop high-performing teams. You create clarity, set high standards, and support others to do their best work, stepping in when needed and leading from the front.
You are at your best when driving a clear proposition forward. You are excited by the opportunity to take a compelling idea and translate it into something that engages the public, inspires generosity and delivers sustainable income.
You are energised by a challenge, comfortable with complexity and working in a federated environment, where success depends on strong relationships and shared ownership. You are skilled at working with partners, whether agencies, internal stakeholders or local YMCAs, and know how to align people around a common goal.
You combine strategic thinking with operational delivery. You are data-driven, using insight and performance to shape your decisions, and confident working with (and occasionally building) financial models to plan, test and scale activity. You bring both creativity and discipline, generating new ideas while ensuring they are grounded, deliverable and effective.
Above all, you are a strong communicator and influencer. You can simplify complex ideas into clear, compelling messages, build confidence with colleagues and stakeholders, and position fundraising as a critical enabler of impact.
