The role

We're currently looking for a self-motivated and driven public health, inclusion and awareness manager. This is an exciting time to join Breast Cancer Now and the public health, inclusion and awareness team as we continue to grow as a charity and our work across the UK. Your role will help drive forward our team's work, 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.

You will be responsible for managing and expanding the development and implementation of behaviour change programmes across the UK. This includes growing our public health talk programme for external organisations and specific partners.

You will work closely with and report to the associate director of public health, inclusion and awareness to deliver public health activities as identified in our strategy and team plans and work across the wider directorate and organisation.

About you

You will be a self-starter with proven experience of developing and delivering public health and inclusion initiatives, campaigns, behaviour change projects and programmes. This includes community based and digital interventions. You will have strong experience in people and volunteer management.

You will be a confident communicator and have experience of developing and delivering training programmes or public health activities in a community setting to diverse audiences. You will be able to develop and maintain positive relationships at a local level with external organisations and groups including with those from under-represented communities. You will also have experience of managing and supporting volunteers.

You will be highly organised, with the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. Someone who can demonstrate initiative, undertake projects independently and see projects through to completion, including both the management and evaluation of projects.
