Leicester, Leicester, United Kingdom Children's Cancer and Leukaemia Group Full time

CCLG is the UK and Ireland's professional membership association for all health professionals working in paediatric oncology or teenage and young adult oncology. We are also a leading charity and expert voice for children and young people with cancer. One of our key charitable objectives is funding and supporting research.

It is an exciting time to join CCLG as we begin developing our strategy for the next five years. We will also be launching a new research strategy later this year, which focuses on our dual role as both a funder of research and a key strategic player in this field, setting the broader research direction for the children and young people's cancer sector through projects like our Children's Cancer Priority Setting Partnership and our research strategy groups, which set the direction for clinical research in the UK.

This new role will be responsible for the implementation and delivery of key objectives in our new research strategy, including supporting our research strategy groups, early career researcher network, and key research events.

We're looking for someone with admin or project coordination experience, preferably in a medical research charity, University, research organisation or similar. Knowledge of charity medical research funding, and how it works, is desirable but not essential. This would be an ideal role for someone looking to develop their career in the charity sector, particularly in health or medical research.

Our work

Each week in the UK and Ireland, more than 30 children are diagnosed with cancer. Our network of dedicated professional members work together in treatment, care and research to help shape a future where all children with cancer survive and live happy, healthy and independent lives.

We fund and support innovative world-class research and collaborate, both nationally and internationally, to drive forward improvements in childhood cancer. Our award-winning information resources help lessen the anxiety, stress and loneliness commonly felt by families, giving support throughout the cancer journey.

We are a registered charity and fundraise for our important activities through campaigns, donations and family involvement.

Main purpose of the job

This role will be responsible for providing a range of support, including administrative support, and coordinating activities across our research programme. You'll provide support to a range of activities including our Research Strategy Groups, research networks, lived experience engagement in research, and our research funding processes. This is a flexible and varied role, and you'll be a key member of a small team making a big impact.

Closing date for applications: Sunday 8 September 2024.

Hours: full-time (37.5 hours per week) or 0.8FTE (4 days per week). Other flexible working arrangements may be considered.

Location: Either hybrid (40% of time in our central Leicester office, the remainder remote working) or completely remote with travel to our Leicester office as required.
