Jobs
We’re seeking a Volunteering and Development Manager to join our fantastic Volunteering and Participation team!
As our organisation grows we want to ensure we are consistently providing a great experience for volunteers and lived experience participants. In the first year the focus will be on introducing best practice and consistency by developing and introducing new processes and tools. In the second year the focus will move to growing and diversifying our volunteer and participant numbers across all areas.
We have brought the areas of volunteering and participation of people with lived experience in our work, together in this role and team. We see these areas as having some points of distinctions, and also that many of the approaches and policies underpinning them are the same. We want to prioritise the same enabling and impactful approach, which values diversity, in both.
PCUK has made a commitment to diversifying and building the participation of people with lived experience across all levels of our work. Our recent audit has demonstrated we already do lots of great things, but we are committed to doing more and to ensuring that people with lived experience are regularly involved from the start in shaping projects and working alongside staff with learnt experience and in meaningful ways.
We are a new team and you will work closely with the Involvement and Volunteering Development Services Manager, who provides the strategic direction for the team, and the People and Culture Administrator who handles volunteer and participation enquiries.
This is an exciting time to join, with lots of opportunity to make your mark and to work with different teams on diverse areas of work and projects. We particularly welcome applications from candidates who consider themselves to be from backgrounds which are under-represented in the charity sector.
About You
We are looking for someone who
- Is passionate about making a difference for volunteers and those affected by Pancreatic Cancer who want to participate in our work and helping them to get the best out of the way they engage with us.
- Has significant experience of either developing and managing volunteering or participation programmes and best practice and is keen to develop their knowledge in the area (volunteering or participation) they have less experience in.
- Is excited by the opportunity to build new resources and increase the diversity of opportunities and those participating in them.
If this sounds like you – we’d love to hear from you!

About Us
Pancreatic cancer is a tough one but we're taking it on. It is tough to diagnose, tough to treat, and tough to research. For too long this disease has been side-lined.

- Pioneering
- Compassion
- Determined
- Integrity
We cannot achieve our vision without employing people who are committed to our vision, strategy, and values.
At 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 can think of no better way to do this than by ensuring that 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.
