Location: Waltham Forest, London (in-person one day a week, remote on other days)
Hours: 15 hours per week, flexible Monday - Friday
Salary: £11,700 per year (based on 15 hours per week)

Make a difference by supporting the smooth running of Life after Cancer, assisting with community engagement, operations, and outreach.

About Us:

At Life after Cancer, we support individuals after cancer treatment, ensuring they feel less alone and can manage their wellbeing. With three years of Lottery funding secured, we’re expanding our reach across England.

Role Overview:

We’re looking for a Team Assistant to support our small but dedicated team. This is a varied role, perfect for someone organised, proactive, and people-focused. You’ll gain hands-on experience in outreach, admin, and community engagement - no two days will be the same.

Key Responsibilities:

Outreach & Research: Help spread the word about Life after Cancer by assisting with outreach to healthcare professionals, charities, and support networks. Research partnership opportunities and distribute leaflets in the community.
Community & Volunteer Support: Build and maintain relationships with volunteers, ensuring they feel valued and supported.
Email & Enquiry Management: Be the first point of contact for general enquiries, responding professionally and compassionately.
Administrative Support: Assist with daily operations, helping to keep things running smoothly.

About You:

Interested in community engagement and supporting people after cancer treatment.
Organised and comfortable managing multiple tasks.
A strong communicator (written and verbal).
Proactive, enthusiastic, and happy to take initiative.
Comfortable using digital tools for communication and organisation.
Experience in admin, outreach, or volunteer support is a plus, but not essential.
Understanding of post-cancer challenges is helpful but not required.
Able to work in-person in Waltham Forest.

How to Apply:

If you’re passionate about making a difference and supporting our community, we’d love to hear from you. Please send your CV and a short cover letter explaining why you’re interested in the role to hello@life-aftercancer.co.uk

Application Deadline: 11 April 2025
