Job description

Leukaemia UK – Our Charity

We are a ‘small but mighty’ charity with one big ambition: to stop leukaemia devastating lives. Over the next 10 years we want to help save and improve the lives of more people with leukaemia through finding and funding life-changing research, awareness and advocacy.

Despite progress in recent decades, someone in the UK is diagnosed with a blood cancer every 16 minutes and survival rates are among some of the worst of any cancer.  And the physical and psychological impact can be lifelong. 

Over the next 5 years we plan to increase our investment into ground-breaking world class research and policy development focused on improving access to kinder, more effective diagnosis, treatment and care for leukaemia and other blood cancers. To do this, we have embarked on a period of growth, investing strategically to grow our income, profile, influence, engagement and impact.

The Research Manager will play a pivotal role in our ability to achieve our goals by ensuring that we use our precious resources to fund only the very the best projects and exceptional people, research and activities that demonstrate the potential to make a real difference.

Team

We are a close-knit team, who are all passionate about Leukaemia UK and the amazing work we do with the people who need it.
