Our Sunflower Appeal launched in June 2025 and aims to raise £5million by 2029 to open a new cancer centre at the Princess Royal Hospital, Telford.

They will be resourceful and able to identify opportunities, getting people involved in a way that suits them, and adds real value to our cause.
We are looking for the equivalent of two full time people to fill these roles. This could be one person working in each area, but we will consider part time and job shares opportunities for the right candidates.
We will be running a single recruitment process to fill all roles, to ensure we get the best mix of skills in the team. To apply, please indicate your preference for either Corporate or Community work in your covering letter or let us know if you are interested in both areas.
Please note that these roles require significant travel to visit our supporters, so a driving licence and access to a vehicle is essential.
