About Us 

We are a grassroots movement of people from a wide range of backgrounds and all walks of life, who believe that we need nature and nature needs us. We have more than 945,000 members, over 33,000 volunteers, 4,100 staff and 600 trustees. There are 46 trusts, each of which is a place-based independent charity with its own legal identity, formed by groups of people getting together and working with others to make a positive difference to wildlife and future generations, starting where they live and Work. 

The next few years will be critical in determining what kind of world we all live in. We need to urgently reverse the loss of wildlife and put nature into recovery at scale if we are to prevent climate and ecological disaster. We recognise that this will require big, bold changes in the way we work, not least in how we mobilise others and support them to organise within their own communities. 

About You 

We are deeply rooted in local areas and we work with communities of all kinds. We use two particular approaches to this element of our work, one which is known as Organising (working with people to help them to help Nature in their own way – for example listening to their concerns about their local green spaces and supporting them to make improvements), and one which is known as

Mobilising (helping people influence changes for Nature - for example changing Government policy by engaging with their MP). Our intention is always to influence nature’s recovery. 

This is an exciting time to join us. The purpose of this role is to support the Campaigning and Organising team as we develop a more equal balance between both approaches (“Organising” and “Mobilising”) so everyone can enjoy a wilder future. 

You are a natural communicator and work collaboratively. You may be starting out in your career and looking for a role where you can make a meaningful contribution and positive impact. 

In this role, you will be supporting work across the federation of 46 trusts to help mobilise supporters, driving locally-led action that contributes to nationally impactful campaigns, while building power within communities of all kinds so they feel more empowered to act for nature in their own ways. 

We are looking for someone who is methodical and resourceful and believes in the power of teamwork.

You will thrive in a fast-paced environment. You will be keen to learn, be open to new challenges and excited by the development opportunities this role offers 

Building meaningful, supportive relationships with Trusts and with communities is at the heart of what we do. You will play an important part in helping the Campaigning and Organising team to ensure everyone feels able to play their part, and help others take action too. 

If you have the passion and enthusiasm to inspire people to help nature thrive, we would be delighted to receive your application. 

We value passion, respect, trust, integrity, pragmatic activism, strength in diversity and we particularly encourage applications from people who are underrepresented within our sector, including people from minority backgrounds and people with disabilities as we are committed to creating a movement that recognises and truly values individual differences and identities. 

We are committed to increasing the diversity of its staff through its Levelling the Field recruitment pledge and as a Disability Confident employer, we are committed to fostering an inclusive, equitable, and welcoming recruitment experience for all applicants. Applicants with disabilities and from ethnic minority backgrounds, will be considered for the next stage of the selection process should they meet all the minimum criteria for the role outlined in the person specification detailed as essential criteria in the recruitment pack. This commitment is intended to help reduce barriers and promote equal opportunity; however, it does not guarantee an interview. 

We actively work to remove barriers throughout the recruitment journey and are dedicated to creating an accessible and supportive recruitment experience by offering reasonable adjustments at every stage of the recruitment process, as well as within the workplace. If you would benefit from any adjustments to support you during your application or interview process, please let us know and we will be pleased to put the appropriate support in place.

We support and fund targeted research, provide expert information and support to patients and their families, educate the public and professionals about the disease and campaign for early diagnosis and access to best treatment and care.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, we’re in a privileged position to be able to deliver our ambitious new strategy, On a Mission. There are huge challenges facing bowel cancer patients across the UK and our community needs us now more than ever. We’re building a strong and united team to bring us closer to a world where nobody dies of bowel cancer.
 

Job Summary - Senior Research Officer

We are seeking a confident and organised Senior Research Officer to join our small but ambitious Research Team. This is a hands-on role with real scope to contribute to how we fund and manage research, and to make a genuine difference to a programme that's helping to save lives.
 

The Senior Research Officer will lead the delivery of our grant funding processes from end to end - managing application rounds, overseeing the active portfolio, coordinating our scientific committees, supporting our research events and leading our approach to patient and public involvement in research. Working in a small, specialist team means you'll also have real scope to contribute ideas, help improve how we do things, and play a meaningful part in the development of the research programme beyond the day-to-day.

Interviews will be held on Thursday 16 April.

If you have a track record in grants administration, bring experience, confidence and good judgement, and are genuinely committed to making research funding work well, we want to hear from you.

 

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and at Bowel Cancer UK we are committed to safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Successful candidates may be subject to either a satisfactory basic, standard or enhanced DBS check from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) dependent upon the role.

If you seek a fresh and rewarding challenge, look no further than Open Country! Seeking to help disabled people to access and enjoy the countryside, we embrace a wide range of fundraising methods, so this role could be adapted to suit either full-time or part-time work. We are also able to cater for your particular skill set, though core duties would likely include: 

• Researching and writing grant applications to charitable trusts, grant-making bodies and other funders.
• Developing and delivering new and imaginative community fundraising activities.
• Encouraging appropriate corporate sponsorship and fundraising.
• Developing and delivering Open Country fundraising events and third-party events.

This is a hands-on, dynamic role requiring creativity, insight and panache, coupled with great communication and relationship-building skills.

You will work collaboratively with our Finance and Fundraising Manager at our Head Office in Harrogate, though an element of home working can be considered.

Appointment to this post is subject to a satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service check.
