The role

Are you looking for a new challenge? We are currently looking for a driven and self-motivated Senior Officer for our Public Health, Inclusion And Awareness team. This is an exciting time to join as we continue to grow. You 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. 

You will work closely with the Public Health, Inclusion And Awareness manager to deliver Public Health activities as identified in our strategy and team plans and work across the wider directorate and organisation. 

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

About you

You will be proactive, highly motivated and have experience in the development and delivery of Public Health and inclusion initiatives, campaigns and projects. 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 our Public Health work clearly and will give presentations as required to community groups and organisations. 

You will also be experienced in monitoring and evaluation of Public Health activity, including gathering data, producing reports and analysing other statistical information as required.
