About Us

Oliver Gill was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive form of cancer at just a few days old, and despite smiling his way through intensive chemotherapy passed away at 24 weeks old. LoveOliver was started on his parents’ laptop with donations from friends and family.

Today, LoveOliver reaches every family in Scotland with a child diagnosed with cancer, providing practical, financial and emotional support along with the hope of gentler treatments and ultimately a cure, through investment in ground-breaking research. LoveOliver has its own children’s charity shop in Glenrothes and was recently gifted the incredible Hub drop-in centre near Edinburgh’s Royal Hospital for Children & Young People, as well as continuing to provide meals, thermometers and financial grants to every Scottish family impacted by childhood cancer.

As LoveOliver has grown so has our ambition, and we are expanding our small team to help us move forward at this exciting time for the organisation. Help us realise our vision of a country in which every family with a child diagnosed with cancer knows there is hope of a cure and that they will have support on their cancer journey.

The Role

We are recruiting a Hub Coordinator to lead the small but incredible team of volunteers at The Hub, with support from our Operations Manager.

LoveOliver has run a drop-in café at The Hub since 2022 and having recently taken on the ownership of the entire building; this is an exciting time to be joining the service as we seek to expand our offering for children and families.

We are seeking a candidate who is compassionate, creative and organised, to help us support children and families on their cancer journey, from diagnosis to treatment and beyond. Our ideal candidate will have good organisational skills to manage rotas, food stocks and volunteers, and crucially will be able to build positive relationships with families, volunteers and partners such as hospital staff, social workers and other charities offering support through The Hub.

The Hub Coordinator will also be key to developing our service provision at The Hub, working closely with families to identify further support and activity opportunities and then leading on implementation, collaborating with our staff and volunteers to make things happen.
