The impact of cancer on young lives is more than medical. That’s why we exist. Our specialist social workers help children and young people with cancer and their families navigate the emotional and practical impact of cancer. We remove barriers, solve problems and prioritise wellbeing. And we stop at nothing to make sure they get the right care and support at the right time.
We challenge the systems and policies that surround children and young people, we highlight gaps and campaign for change. Because we know what a better future could look like. And we know what we need to do to make that future a reality. We need to push harder, reach further and work smarter. And we need the right people on our team to help us get there. People like you.
About the role
We’re looking for a Human Resources Advisor with strong experience in employee relations and policy development to join our People Team. In this role, you’ll work closely with the HR Business Partners and act as the escalation point from our People Operations Team, offering comprehensive, pragmatic people advisory services across the organisation. You’ll support colleagues and managers on a wide range of HR topics, including employee relations, recruitment, and policy improvement.
This is a key role that doesn’t involve direct management responsibilities, but you will play a pivotal part in coaching and advising managers and colleagues. We’re looking for someone with strong interpersonal skills, a proactive approach, and the ability to handle complex HR cases with confidence and professionalism.
You’ll be joining a collaborative team committed to improving people processes and enhancing workforce diversity and inclusion.
What will I be doing?
No two days are the same at Young Lives vs Cancer. So, summarising your ‘day to day’ isn’t easy. Here are some of the main things you’ll be doing, but you’ll find more details in the job description.
- Provide first-line people advisory support, managing employee relations issues such as performance management, grievances, and absence management.
- Assist with complex HR casework and organisational change programmes, including restructuring and redundancies.
- Collaborate with hiring managers to ensure an inclusive and diverse recruitment and selection process.
- Liaise with the People Operations Team to ensure all people changes are accurately reflected in our systems and payroll.
- Support the development and implementation of our People policies and processes across the organisation.
What do I need?
At Young Lives vs Cancer, we value diverse perspectives and unique skillsets. If you're passionate about making a positive impact but don’t meet all of the criteria or need a more flexible working arrangement, we still encourage you to apply!

- Flexible working: we’re open to working hours outside of 9 - 5 and we can talk through your flexibility requirements at interview stage
- Wellbeing days: four days a year to do what works for you – from catching up on training to going for a walk
- Generous annual leave allowance
- Great family/caring leave entitlements
- Enhanced pension
- Access to our employee savings scheme
Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging
At Young Lives vs Cancer, we recognise that opportunities for too many people remain a condition of their sex, ethnicity, class, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation – or a combination. This has never been acceptable to us as an organisation. We don’t just accept difference, we value it, celebrate it, nurture it and we thrive because of it.
We’re on a journey to be reflective of the diverse children, young people and families we support. We know we aren’t there yet, and we’re passionately committed to taking actions and making changes to be a truly diverse, inclusive and equitable organisation. This includes taking anti-oppressive action and removing barriers in our recruitment practices. We particularly welcome applications from members of minoritised communities.

This is an exciting time to join. Our reach is increasing thanks to the success of multiple bids with trusts, foundations and institutional grantmakers. With enhanced sectoral credibility and a strengthened brand, we are now in a strong position to widen our operational presence and attract new funders for projects that will transform the lives of thousands more children in vulnerable situations. We need your skills and expertise to help us secure these funds and make a real difference to our beneficiaries.

Who we are
Chance for Childhood believes that no child should have to fight for a safe, happy childhood.
We exist to ensure that every child in Africa can thrive from their early years through to adulthood. Together with partners, supporters, children, and their communities, we protect, educate and create lasting change for every child threatened by violence, neglect and conflict.
We work in five African countries (Ghana, the DRC, Rwanda, Kenya and Uganda) and we are carving out a niche as experts in inclusive education and safe spaces for children facing multiple complex vulnerabilities.
In 2022, we launched the #OverExposed campaign to advocate for ethical imagery and storytelling in the fundraising and marketing materials of international development charities.
Duties
The role will involve a combination of stewardship and new business, helping us to secure support from more trusts, foundations and businesses who share our passion for transforming the lives of children in the communities with whom we work.
Key duties will be to:
- Prospect and research potential grantmakers and businesses who share our strategic objectives
- Take a relationships-based approach wherever possible, establishing warm relationships between partners and Chance for Childhood

- Secure four, five and six figure grants from trusts and foundations

- Communicate skilfully across borders with our brilliant in-country programmes team to maintain a flow of information, stories and data for fundraising and reporting
- Accurately record communications using our fundraising CRM (Beacon) and enable reporting on expected income
- Work effectively within our small, supportive and mighty fundraising and marketing team to ensure strong dissemination of ideas, and fidelity to our organisational brand in communications
- Stay well informed of existing and new fundraising legislation and adhere to the Fundraising Regulator’s Code of Practice, the Chartered Institute of Fundraising best practice as well as relevant fundraising and UK GDPR requirements
Person specification:
A highly organised, detail-oriented self-starter who engenders credibility and trust with stakeholders, you will have good working knowledge of corporate and trusts and foundations fundraising, and very strong written and verbal communication skills.
To be the right fit for this role, you do not need to have a degree. You do not need experience in international development fundraising, although this would be an advantage.
We are looking for someone who is:
- A knowledgeable, confident and experienced professional. We’re looking for a fundraiser who loves fundraising
- Committed to the values of Chance for Childhood, including ethical storytelling and shifting power to local communities

- A natural planner, organised and efficient and capable of supporting the planning of Chance for Childhood’s trusts and foundations and corporate partnerships operations
- An excellent written communicator, experienced at writing persuasively and emotively
- A compelling verbal communicator, able to build rapport with donors and stakeholders at multiple levels
- A meticulous researcher; capable of finding and using relevant data to underpin credible proposals
