About Cancer Support UK
Cancer Support UK exists to tackle the profound sense of isolation many people experience after a cancer diagnosis. While diagnosis and treatment can have significant physical impacts, the emotional toll can be just as challenging, leaving many feeling alone at a time when connection and understanding are essential.

• Develop and deliver a planned schedule of communications activity across all channels
• Develop and maintain a compelling library of supporter stories (written, film and imagery), ensuring appropriate permissions and coverage across key research areas
• Work with colleagues to source, craft and share stories that demonstrate impact and inspire support
• Collaborate with colleagues to translate unique insight from beneficiaries into engaging stories that demonstrate the positive impact of the services delivered by Cancer Support UK
• Work closely with the fundraising team to optimise digital communications
