Registered Charity No: 1061582

Marketing Delivery Officer 

£29,500 - £32,250 per year 

Permanent, full-time (37.5 hours per week)  

Hybrid working with regular travel to our London Bridge Office 

What the job involves 

As a Marketing Delivery Officer within the Integrated Marketing and Media team, you’ll play a central role in bringing communications plans to life. Working closely with colleagues across the Communications Directorate, you’ll coordinate the delivery of content and channel activity so priority communications land effectively and on time. 

You’ll oversee delivery across a wide range of channels, coordinating content outlined in communications plans and delivering against priorities set by Communications Business Partners and Product Owners. A big part of the role involves working with delivery teams to understand their lead times, briefing needs and how to get the best outcomes from collaborative working. You’ll work on projects with teams across the charity, including sector-leading virtual fundraising challenge products, sporting events such as London Marathon, in-person events like March for Men, projects to promote our support services, Corporate Partnerships and much more. You’ll also liaise with our external media agency to support the delivery of content for paid media campaigns. 

As part of cross-functional product teams, you’ll stay close to evolving priorities and take ownership of the production and delivery of communications activity. This includes copywriting, editing and reviewing content, developing creative briefs and overseeing delivery of the communications plan. You’ll coordinate asset requests, organise briefings and channel planning sessions, and help connect product teams with delivery teams so everyone is aligned and working efficiently. You’ll get to work with teams across the organisation and get to see first-hand the work we’re doing to give men the power to navigate prostate cancer.

What we want from you 

You’ll be highly organised, with the ability to calmly balance planned and reactive work while keeping a solutions‑focused mindset. You’ll be a confident communicator, comfortable translating complex or technical information into clear, engaging content for general audiences, and skilled at building trusted relationships with colleagues, stakeholders and external partners. 

You’ll bring experience of copywriting for different channels, along with copy editing and reviewing skills, and have a solid grounding in creative content production, creative briefing and ideation. Practical experience using tools such as Canva will be important, as will project management expertise and familiarity with collaboration tools like Trello or Monday. 

Strong analytical skills are essential, enabling you to quickly digest complex information and respond effectively, even when working to tight deadlines. Above all, you’ll be a collaborative team player who enjoys working across functions, engaging stakeholders and helping teams deliver their best work together. 

If you’re excited about helping deliver communications that really matter, we’d love to hear from you! 

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’re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Allies to Black communities. We’ll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We're also working to be Allies to each other, not only protected groups. In 2024, we launched our New Allyship Training Programme. All colleagues at Prostate Cancer UK will be trained to act and identify as an Ally. 

We've also signed Business in the Communities Race at Work Charter, as a dedication to our Black health equity work and wider EDI priorities. As a signatory, we're responsible and accountable for driving positive change. 

How and where we work 

Colleagues attend the office at least four days per month (pro rata for part-time colleagues) to collaborate, build relationships, and support projects and decision-making. You can choose where to work the rest of the time. Travel to the office is a commute, so we pay our own travel costs.

Additional in-person attendance will be required during your first few months for induction and training, to support you to learn the role and get to know colleagues. 

We trust colleagues to work flexibly while balancing personal commitments with the needs of the charity, and we are committed to making reasonable adjustments for colleagues with a disability, neurodiversity, or a long-term physical or mental health condition.

Working at Woodgreen is vet nursing at its most rewarding.  You are an essential part of a pet’s journey from a vulnerable stray or relinquishment to a happy life in a forever home and based in our busy on-site clinic, you’ll be the advocate for the dogs, cats, and small pets that need us most.

If you are;

• A Registered Veterinary Nurse (RCVS registered).
• A team player with a heart for rescue and animal welfare.
• Positive, friendly, and level-headed - someone who is empathetic, supportive and able to deliver difficult messages in a calm, compassionate manner
• Able and willing to work on a number of roles on the rota, including caring for patients in the wards (including isolation), dispensing medications and working in the theatre suite/radiography areas.

We would love to hear from you!

This is a 12 month fixed term contract opportunity working 30 hours per week over four days.  This is worked on a 6 week rota pattern to include 1 weekend in 6 with a rostered day off either side of the working weekend.

The starting salary for this position is £27,300 pro rata per annum, with an additional market supplement of £2,200 pro rata per annum. This is complemented by;

• Pro rata equivalent of 36 days annual leave per year (inclusive of bank holidays) rising by 1 day each year to a maximum of 40 days pro rata per annum after five years
• Up to 8% employer pension contributions
• Support towards healthcare costs (cashplan)
