About us  

Pancreatic cancer is a tough one but we're taking it on. It is tough to diagnose, tough to treat, and tough to research. For too long this disease has been side-lined. We want to make sure that everyone affected by it gets all the help they need. Together we are taking on pancreatic cancer. Underpinning this vision are our three values:

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.

The charity is the national What Works Centre for Children and Families. We generate and champion high-quality evidence that aims to improve the outcomes of children experiencing vulnerabilities and their families. To do this, we work directly with government and national stakeholders, and with local leaders to embed evidence in policy and practice, and to drive change. We’re an organisation with ambitious aims and our people are essential to our success.

As a member of the What Works Network, we have a pivotal role as the ‘go-to’ source for evidence about services that makes a difference to children and families. We span the spectrum of support for children and families, from early intervention and targeted help to children’s social care.

The organisation strives to be a great place to work, where everyone is high performing and where together we achieve impact that makes a real difference for children and families.

We’re looking for a proactive, highly motivated and experienced Senior Press Office to join our small but impactful Communications and Public Affairs Team. You'll use your communications skills to create and deliver media strategies that cut through in a crowded landscape, raise our brand profile, and position us as the ‘go to’ organisation for evidence, comment and opinion in our space.

This is a pivotal moment in policy and practice for children and families. Reform is underway at national and local level, and a major Bill is passing through Parliament. The priority areas – supporting parenting, strengthening family networks, tackling domestic abuse and relationships for care-experienced children and young people - are media-friendly, topical and frequently high profile. If you want to join a committed and skilled team dedicated to making a difference to children and families, we would like to hear from you.
