About us
We are Pancreatic Cancer UK. We go above and beyond for everyone affected by this disease.
Right now, half of people with pancreatic cancer die within three months of diagnosis. Families are left with only hope to hold onto. They need more. So, we do more.
We bring more break throughs through research; more change through campaigning and more support through our expert nurses.
We make more noise because people have gone unheard. We are relentless because the disease is ruthless. We care more because people feel forgotten.
Because people with pancreatic cancer need more than hope.
Underpinning this vision are our three values:
- Courage
- Compassion
- Community
We cannot achieve our vision without employing people who are committed to our vision, strategy, and values.
At Pancreatic Cancer UK (PCUK) our ambition is to create an inclusive working environment that reflects the communities and audiences that we engage with and where everyone can be their true selves, where they feel respected, championed, heard, and supported. We want our workforce to achieve their potential, understand their contribution and feel proud of their impact by creating a culture and organisation that is genuinely inclusive by advancing equality, diversity, inclusion, and belonging through our policies and practices.
We believe diversity drives great outcomes by encouraging the different points of view that come from a diverse workforce. We want to hear from and engage with people whose experience of dealing with this disease may be very different depending on their individual circumstances and background. We can think of no better way to do this than by making sure this role fully represents our intent; therefore, we are especially keen to consider applications from suitable applicants who consider themselves to be in areas that appear underrepresented within the charity sector.

We make sure all our staff are selected, vetted (DBS/Criminal record checks where appropriate), trained, and supervised fairly and to a high standard so that they can provide safe, effective and compassionate care. Where we work with volunteers, we extend the same support in order to ensure that they are working within our ethos and standards.

Rydyn ni hefyd yn cydnabod bod yr argyfwng hinsawdd ac ecolegol yn effeithio'n anghymesur ar gymunedau lleiafrifol a/neu sydd wedi’u hymyleiddio – ond mae'r lleisiau hyn wedi'u tangynrychioli'n sylweddol yn y sector.
Ar hyn o bryd, y sector amgylcheddol yw'r sector lleiaf amrywiol ond un yn y Deyrnas Unedig, gyda dim ond 4.8% o weithwyr o gefndiroedd ethnig leiafrifol. Os yw'r mudiad amgylcheddol am lwyddo i greu dyfodol mwy gwyrdd sy'n cefnogi’r gymdeithas gyfan, mae angen lleisiau amrywiol wrth wraidd ein rhaglenni. Rydyn ni felly’n annog pobl o ddemograffeg sydd heb gynrychiolaeth ddigonol ar hyn o bryd yn y mudiad amgylcheddol i ymgeisio.
