Charity People are delighted to be partnering with Breast Cancer Now, the research and support breast cancer charity, to recruit a Senior Officer, Public Health, Inclusion and Awareness.

 

Breast Cancer Now changes the lives of people affected by breast cancer by combining the power of research and support and building a brighter future for everyone affected by breast cancer. World-class researchers work in labs across the UK and Ireland to create a world where the words "breast cancer" aren't met with fear. The Breast Cancer Now helpline, health information and support services help 600,000 people living with or beyond the disease, as well as their loved ones every day.

 

Breast Cancer Now believe that by 2050, everyone diagnosed with breast cancer will live – and be supported to live well. But to create that future, we need to act now.

 

The Senior Officer, Public Health, Inclusion and Support will support the development and delivery of the public health, inclusion and awareness team’s work across the UK, which is to empower patients and the public to play a full role in managing their own risk of getting breast cancer, diagnosing breast cancer earlier and improving their quality of life after a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, thereby reducing the risk of recurrence.

 

The role will also support the delivery of activities to drive forward equity, diversity and inclusion agenda to ensure Breast Cancer Now achieves the pledges, recommendations and actions set out in plans and champion commitment to celebrate diversity, challenge and address inequality, and help build an inclusive environment for all people affected by breast cancer.

• Team Support & Administration: Assist with team administration, including preparing meeting papers, processing invoices, and supporting the development of systems and materials to improve service delivery.

 

The successful candidate will be proactive, highly motivated and have experience in the development and delivery of public health and inclusion initiatives, campaigns and projects. You will be an excellent communicator in building relationships at a local level with external organisations and groups including with those from under-represented communities.

 

You will be confident in understanding and explaining equity, diversity and inclusion issues in public health work clearly and are able to present information in a variety of forms dependent on the target audience.
