Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk.

Our goal is to simplify and enrich the volunteering experience to engage a broad audience. We have around 2,000 volunteers a year who bring a wealth of professional skills, lived experience, local knowledge, energy and enthusiasm to our work. Volunteers give their time across the charity in a wide range of roles including peer support, awareness raising, fundraising events, and research funding.

You’ll oversee the volunteer journey, ensuring an excellent experience in line with the Investing in Volunteers standard. In business partnering with colleagues, you’ll act as an advisor and expert on volunteering. Passionate about inclusion and accessibility, you’ll support us to increase representation in our volunteers to reflect our DEI priorities.
You’ll act as line manager to the Volunteer Experience Team and deputise for the Head of Volunteer Engagement as well as working closely with our Community Awareness Manager.
This is a rewarding role where you’ll get to meet volunteers and supporters and see first-hand the work of Prostate Cancer UK. Together we are supporting and raising awareness of the impact of prostate cancer, providing men with the knowledge of their risk and the power to act on it.
What we want from you
To be successful in this role you’ll be an experienced, successful people manager with a strong understanding of volunteer engagement. You’ll be flexible and adaptable in a changing environment; you understand our customers are individuals and organisations with differing expectations and needs. You’ll also act with empathy and with an understanding of how prostate cancer can impact it can have on people's lives.
You’ll have an agile approach and you’ll be experienced in developing and iterating person-centred processes and systems. You’ll also need to be comfortable with resolving conflict and confident in influencing others as you work collaboratively across our organisation and as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.
Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.
Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
At Prostate Cancer UK, we believe that equity, diversity and inclusion are essential to building a strong and innovative workplace that represents, and can advocate for, the communities we support.
It’s our ambition to become an anti-racist organisation, and our mission to advance racial equity in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
We’re learning more about the needs of our colleagues and we’re excited to have recently launched three new people networks: Pride, Mind & Body and Multicultural.
