Contact is a national charity for families with disabled children. We provide information, advice, and support, and bring families together so they can support each other. We campaign to improve their circumstances, and for their right to be included and equal in society.

This is an exciting time to join the Business Development team as we build on our already established approaches and networks to deliver our valuable support and expertise to families of disabled children and other key partners and customers.

The successful applicant will be crucial in supporting the delivery of our business development programmes. This role will have key touchpoints throughout the organisation and externally, and will support the delivery of our range of ready made and bespoke support to families and professionals.

The successful applicant will enjoy opportunities to develop in a well-supported role within a growing department with strong links both internally and externally.  

Your role:

You will be responsible for setting up events online and face to face, contacting trainers, taking bookings, and making sure families find the right support from our wide-ranging options.  You will also be updating our CRM database, making sure invoices are raised and paid and collating information for reports from the database or Excel.

What we’re looking for:

We are looking for someone who has excellent IT and digital skills, ideally with experience of online event systems such as Eventbrite and Zoom, a good knowledge of Excel and experience using a CRM database. You’ll need to be extremely organised with excellent written and verbal communication skills, a friendly, confident phone manner and a good knowledge of the issues and concerns families with disabled children face.

WHY WORK AT BLOOD CANCER UK

We're the 9th best charity in the UK to work for according to Best Companies 2021! 
We started because of Susan, we’ll get there because of you.

Blood Cancer UK was started by one family who lost their daughter, Susan, to blood cancer, and that history and sense of family continues to shape who we are today. When you join Blood Cancer UK, you don’t just become an organisational employee – you become part of a collaborative community dedicated to funding research into beating blood cancer that includes some of the most inspiring people you’ll ever meet. 

And we’re not that far away from beating blood cancer. We’re confident we can do it within the next generation, and this makes us hugely ambitious and gives us a sense of real urgency. It also means we’re changing quickly as an organisation as we constantly challenge ourselves and strive to become more and more effective. This pace of change means working here isn’t for everyone. But if you’re excited by the chance to work in a fast-paced, agile and supportive environment with the focus and ambition to beat blood cancer this could be the place for you! We focus on results rather than time spent at a desk, so we deliver more for people affected by blood cancer.

Blood Cancer UK offers the chance to work for and with people affected by blood cancer, and the opportunity to advance your career and develop your skillset whilst taking on exciting new challenges and making your mark.
