About the Fundraising and Marketing Officer role and why we need you

Individual Giving comprises the largest income stream for the charity, presently raising around £7.8 million each income year, and the Individual Giving team is looking for an officer specialising in Direct Marketing and Lottery on a fixed term contract. The role will have responsibility for delivering the Prize Draw and Prize-led Giving strategy.

Your priority will be the delivery of an agreed income target from supporters, ensuring their on-going loyalty to Worldwide Cancer Research.  Working closely with your team, you will have the opportunity to deliver the Charity’s Individual Giving strategy; your key focus will be on the delivery and transformation of the Prize Draw and Lottery programmes, with some additional responsibilities for other income streams. Direct Marketing is at the core of these income streams so expertise in this area is preferred.

This role offers the chance for professional development in an area vital to the charity’s ambition to increase its funding of discovery research around the world.  As a Fundraising and Marketing Officer at Worldwide Cancer Research, you will have the opportunity to demonstrate all the charity’s values every day, while making an important contribution to a dynamic team and being a role model for the charity and its mission.

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 a Fundraising and Marketing Officer to join the busy Fundraising and Philanthropy team at Worldwide Cancer Research, to help the charity run its multi-million-pound funding programme for discovery cancer research.
