The team will support our community engagement function to build trust and engagement with Black community organisations and leaders across the UK. The purpose being to increase the awareness in Black communities of the risk of prostate cancer and to narrow the health inequalities faced by Black men.
As a Senior Black Health Equity Engagement Officer, you'll be responsible for managing the operational aspects of our charity's Black Men's Health Advisory Group. This includes scheduling meetings, planning agendas, and ensuring effective communication within the group to gather insights, support, and guidance. You'll actively engage with various groups, organisations, and networks within Black communities, building trusting relationships to spread awareness of prostate cancer. You’ll help to build an understanding and knowledge of ways in which health inequalities impact Black men affected by prostate cancer (including their families) and be able to provide expert advice and partner with teams across the charity to help to tackle health inequalities.
You'll develop work plans, measure impact, and ensure that the lived experiences of Black communities shape our work. Additionally, you'll work with colleagues to increase our number of Black volunteers to help make a bigger difference in communities.

You’ll have experience in organising meetings or events that cater to a diverse range of participants, ensuring that various perspectives are heard and valued, especially within Black communities. You’ll be an excellent communicator and comfortable presenting to a wide range of audiences and show credibility to those at senior levels and external stakeholders and partners. You’ll also be able to work will with a mix of teams and work together to develop and coordinate plans to benefit Black communities and raising awareness.

This role is being part-funded by Movember as part of Prostate Cancer UK’s Black Health Equity Programme. 
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease. 
Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer. 
We offer a competitive benefits package, including:
One ‘development day’ a month to use for training or personal development 
Enhanced contributory pension scheme 
Life insurance and group income protection 
Health Cash Plan 
Life and wellbeing advice and support via our Employee Assistance Programme 
Discounted gym membership and high street shopping discounts 
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion 
At Prostate Cancer UK, we believe that equity, diversity and inclusion are essential to building a strong and innovative workplace, that represents, and can advocate for, the communities we support. We’re incredibly proud of our new Black Health Equity Programme, and our inclusive learning journey. We know that reaching marginalised communities that need us most, particularly Black men who are at a higher risk of prostate cancer, starts with better representation in our organisation. Therefore, we’re particularly interested in applications from those from marginalised and vulnerable communities. This will help us create an environment of inclusion where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work, where personal qualities are as important as professional experience, and our people feel seen and heard.
Our people networks 
We’re learning more about the needs of our colleagues, and we’re excited to have recently launched three new people networks, sponsored by our Leadership team: 
Mind & Body – Here to increase awareness, promote wellbeing and support colleagues affected by neurodiversity, mental health problems, disability and long-term illness 
Wellbeing and hybrid working 
Our hybrid working approach combines the best of flexible working – a positive work/life balance, inclusive and accessible platforms, and online information at our fingertips. We understand that everyone has different needs, and we strive to create opportunities for relationship building, collaboration and social time.
Each of our teams has a team agreement outlining when and how often we’re expected to be in our London Bridge office. Office time is a commute, so we pay our own travel costs.
For this role, we would expect the successful candidate to be coming into the London office two days per month.
Community events are an essential part of the role and are normally delivered in person. You’ll be required to travel to events across the UK – travel costs outside of your normal commute will be reimbursed under our expenses policy. Events often take place on evenings or weekends – the successful candidate will need to work flexibly to attend c. one weekend event a month and take time back mid-week.
