Target Ovarian Cancer

Who we are

At Target Ovarian Cancer, we target what’s important to stop ovarian cancer devastating lives.

We give trusted information, to help people ask questions and make decisions that are right for them. We connect people with shared experiences, and we support families every step of the way.

We stand together as a powerful community for everyone facing ovarian cancer across the UK, sharing stories and raising voices, to make sure that ovarian cancer becomes a health priority.

We know that early diagnosis saves lives, so we work closely with GPs who are at the heart of this, to help them diagnose ovarian cancer faster and earlier – giving everyone the best chance of living.

And our investment in research to find new, better and more targeted treatments means that everyone can live with hope for their future.

We’re fighting for a world where everyone with ovarian cancer lives, and we’re targeting what’s important - symptoms awareness, early diagnosis, better treatments and support for all.

 A truly rewarding place to work, our greatest strengths are our enthusiastic and committed team and the amazing women we work with and support.

Our culture and values

At Target Ovarian Cancer, we target what’s important to stop ovarian cancer devastating lives.  We're the only ovarian cancer charity working across all four nations of the UK. We work with everyone affected by ovarian cancer and health professionals to ensure we target the areas that matter most for them. 

Early diagnosis

We know that early diagnosis saves lives, so we work closely with GPs who are at the heart of this, to help them diagnose ovarian cancer faster and earlier and we also campaign for government funded symptoms awareness campaigns, so that everyone will know the symptoms and talk to their GP. 

We've been at the forefront of early diagnosis in ovarian cancer for over a decade. 

Research

Our investment in research to find new, better and more targeted treatments means that everyone can live with hope for their future.  

Support

We give trusted information, to help people ask questions and make decisions that are right for them. We connect people with shared experiences, and we support families every step of the way.

We stand together as a powerful community for everyone facing ovarian cancer across the UK, sharing stories and raising voices, to make sure that ovarian cancer becomes a health priority.  

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

At Target Ovarian Cancer, we recognise that ovarian cancer outcomes and experiences are not equal. Inequalities exist in diagnosis, access to treatment and support, and we are committed to addressing these through our work.

We believe that diversity of perspective strengthens decision-making and leads to better outcomes. We are therefore committed to building a Board that reflects a broad range of backgrounds, experiences and viewpoints.

We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds, particularly those currently underrepresented at senior levels, including people from Black, Asian and other minoritised ethnic communities, disabled and neurodivergent people, and those with lived experience of ovarian cancer.

We are committed to ensuring our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible. If you require any adjustments at any stage, please let us know.
