We are professionals with purpose, beating cancer every day. But we need to go much further and much faster. That's why we're looking for someone talented, someone who wants to develop their skills, someone like you.
But beating cancer means more than research. It means making sure everyone no matter who they are or where they live has access to life-saving information and support.
That's where you come in.
We're looking for a passionate and experienced nurse leader to help deliver and shape our Talk Cancer programme-equipping people across the UK with the knowledge and confidence to talk about cancer prevention, screening and early diagnosis in their community.
If you're driven by purpose, motivated by reducing health inequalities, and excited to lead and inspire others-we'd love to hear from you.
