About working for us

This is a fast-paced organisation that is committed to making a difference. Being a part of our team is being part of a thriving, positive, dynamic, successful, and welcoming community that is making an impact. We will support you and develop you should you wish this, and you get the opportunity to be involved in activities outside the scope of your immediate role. We care about your health and well-being and your work-life balance, and you will feel that your contribution is valued and matters.

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:

· Courage

· Community

· Compassion

We cannot achieve our vision without employing people who are committed to our vision, strategy, and values.

At Pancreatic Cancer UK our ambition is to create an inclusive working environment that reflects the communities and audiences that we engage with and where everyone can be their true selves, where they feel respected, championed, heard, and supported.  We want our workforce to achieve their potential, understand their contribution and feel proud of their impact by creating a culture and organisation that is genuinely inclusive by advancing equality, diversity, inclusion, and belonging through our policies and practices.

We believe diversity drives great outcomes by encouraging the different points of view that come from a diverse workforce. 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. 

Safeguarding

Pancreatic Cancer UK is committed to safe and fair recruitment processes that safeguard and protect those we work with, support and serve. We make sure all our staff are selected, vetted (DBS/Criminal record checks where appropriate), trained, and supervised fairly and to a high standard so that they can provide safe, effective, and compassionate care. Where we work with volunteers, we extend the same support in order to ensure that they are working within our ethos and standards.

This is an exciting opportunity for a creative individual to establish and lead a community engagement and volunteer programme in an important new visitor attraction in the heart of London. Bevis Marks Synagogue dates back to 1701 and is the oldest synagogue in the UK. You will recruit, motivate and support a team of volunteers and develop a dynamic community engagement programme as part of a small, dedicated team at this special, historic site.

In 2019, Bevis Marks Synagogue received a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant to restore the synagogue and create The Dangoor Heritage Centre.

About Our Client

About RNIB

At RNIB, we're here to create a world without barriers for blind and partially people. With around two million people in the UK currently living with sight loss, and that number expected to rise significantly, we believe the time for change is now.

We're looking for a visionary Chief Executive Officer to lead RNIB into its next chapter. This is a unique opportunity to make a lasting impact on society and improve the lives of blind and partially sighted people across the UK.

• Making accessibility the default in design, services, and environments.
• Campaigning for better services, inclusive education, and employment opportunities.
• Providing high quality and innovative services to support blind and partially sighted people.
• Growing public support through advocacy, volunteering, and fundraising.

By 2050, 500 people a day could begin to lose their sight. The need for action has never been greater.

Job Description

• Championing RNIB's 10-year strategy to ensure every person with sight loss can live the life they want to lead.
• Driving innovation, organisational resilience and long-term stability.
• Grow income through commercial ventures, partnerships, philanthropy and maximising customer experience.
• Be a powerful advocate for the sight loss community, influencing public policy and public perception.
• Fostering a high-performing, inclusive, and values-driven culture, embedding lived experience at the heart of RNIB.
• Ensuring robust governance, risk management, and financial stewardship.
• Leading cultural transformation and organisational change.

The Successful Applicant

We're seeking a dynamic, values-led leader who brings:

• Proven executive leadership experience in complex, high-profile environments.
• A track record of delivering strategic change and organisational growth.
• Strong advocacy and stakeholder engagement capability.
• Experience working with non-executive boards and leading transformation.
• Commercial acumen and proven capability in growing income through diverse streams.
• A deep commitment to equity, inclusion, and lived experience.

What's on Offer

Why Join RNIB?

• Lead a nationally recognised organisation with a powerful mission.
• Work with passionate teams and dedicated volunteers.
• Influence real change in public policy, accessibility, and inclusion.
• Be part of a future where sight loss is no barrier to opportunity.
