• Share insights, promote the programme externally, and support new content/product development.

• Collaborate with the Senior Manager to ensure quality, compliance, and health & safety standards are met.

• Provide leadership across the HCE nursing function, including training, recruitment, development, and maintaining professional (NMC) standards.

• Maintain clear accountability and role clarity across all Roadshow and Nurse Led Cancer Awareness activities.

• Build strong local partnerships with public health organisations and internal teams.

• Act as a representative of the programme, sharing updates and insights within CRUK and at internal forums.
