We are Scotland’s largest health charity working to help people with chest, heart and stroke conditions and Long Covid. More people than ever before are living with these conditions and many experience fear, isolation and loneliness, struggling to cope with the impact of their health condition on their everyday lives. Our amazing nurses, support workers and volunteers are here to make sure no one has to recover alone and with our Community Healthcare Support Service, we ensure that people across Scotland get the support they need to live full lives.

Our role within Human Resources is to resource, enable and equip our organisation to make the difference between people just surviving and really living.

About the role and why we need you

You will work closely with the Events and Community Manger to lead the charity’s outdoor and challenge event portfolio, attend challenge events and community fundraising activities to steward supporters, deliver talks and give thanks.

Who are we?

At Worldwide Cancer Research, we start new cures. Cancer is still one of the leading causes of death worldwide, but cutting-edge science can give us hope. Discovery research seeks to uncover new knowledge that could change the way we think about cancer. It reveals new ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat cancer that can save lives.

We actively seek unconventional and imaginative ideas from scientists at all stages of their career, across the globe. In some cases, we are the only organisation that will fund a scientist’s idea. We take an unbiased approach to research funding by focusing on supporting only the best ideas for new cures. By having a diverse research portfolio, we increase our chances of finding breakthroughs.

Our vision is of a day when no life is cut short by cancer, and we believe we can achieve this by starting the life-saving advances of the future by sowing the seeds of discoveries. Anyone that helps bring forward breakthroughs – including our staff, our supporters, and the researchers we fund – is a Curestarter.

As a charity, we are committed to opportunity without barriers, and we are striving to seek, value and learn from different perspectives and experiences. We want Worldwide Cancer Research to be an inclusive organisation – where everyone can be themselves and feel valued – as diverse as the scientific community we fund and the families whose lives we impact.

We are committed to ensuring that we provide equal opportunities to every applicant regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation. We aim to ensure that our recruitment process is unbiased and that everyone is treated equitably. In support of this, we have pledged to ‘Show the Salary’ for our roles and we are registered as a Disability Confident Committed Employer - because our team members are at the heart of everything we do to start new cancer cures around the world.

To help start new cancer cures and save lives, we are looking for an Events and Community Fundraising Officer to join the busy Events and Community Team at Worldwide Cancer Research, to help the charity run its multi-million-pound funding programme for discovery cancer research.
