Cancer is different for young people. Our vision is a world where cancer doesn’t stop young people from living their lives – and our job in making that vision a reality is to improve the experience of every young person with cancer in the UK.
Teenage Cancer Trust has been a hugely successful organisation for many years – leading the way in specialist support for young people with cancer in the UK and across the globe. We’re driven by what young people with cancer need and are the UK’s leading charity dedicated solely to the treatment, care and support of 13-24-year olds with cancer.
What’s clear is that we have significant opportunities to further expand and deepen our impact - but doing that in the face of the challenges to income posed by the current pandemic is going to be tough.
We have just gone through a change process to ensure we have the structure that enables us to stabilise our income now and grow it over the coming years. We have a talented team of fundraisers who are not daunted by the challenge ahead, far from it, they have achieved more than we ever thought was possible in the last year and we’re looking for a Head of Mass Participation who can rise to the challenge with them, seize opportunities and be the strategic lead for the Mass Participation team.
Although Mass Participation income has been hit hard by the pandemic, we have adapted and developed a sector leading multi-million pound virtual events offering. We’re certain with the right leader in place we can create a sustainable long term mass participation programme that combines opportunities across both the virtual and challenge events space.You will lead your Team to deliver and grow this area of the fundraising mix, in line with our ambitious targets. The role will lead by example using expert knowledge and insights about virtual and challenge events opportunities and fundraising.
This is not an organisation – or role - that’s about more of the same or one size fits all. We are looking for the right leader, with the right approach to make sure that every fundraiser in their team is excited about the future and enjoys what they are doing.
This role has the potential to be life changing - not only for young people with cancer - but also for you and the talented, experienced teams you will be leading and empowering.
We need our leaders to bring brilliant cross-organisational leadership experience with stacks of emotional intelligence and stakeholder engagement skills. You will thrive when working in partnership and making alliances. Success and strength are not about us doing everything – it’s about getting everything done with others. At Teenage Cancer Trust we succeed, fail & learn together and are stronger than the sum of our parts.
If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
