Hybrid working with regular travel to our London Bridge Office

What the job involves

We have an opportunity for a Senior Strategic Communications (Campaigns) Officer to join our Strategic Communications, Campaigns and Brand team. You'll work closely with the Strategic Communications (Campaigns) Manager to successfully plan and deliver major strategic campaigns and key brand moments, taking the lead on day-to-day project management to keep everything coordinated and running smoothly.


As a Senior Strategic Communications (Campaigns) Officer you'll take responsibility for developing content for allocated big-ticket campaigns and brand moments, ensuring all content is consistent with our brand and tone of voice. The campaigns you'll be working on will revolve around our brand, high value fundraising and priority campaigns seeking to drive change. You'll develop content marketing strategies that will tell stories to reach our key audiences. Our current campaigns focus on reaching more men so they can make informed choices about their prostate cancer risk, while also working to reduce health inequalities and better engage Black men, a community disproportionately affected by prostate cancer.


Collaboration is a big part of this role. Working closely with colleagues across the organisation, you'll help shape high-impact content marketing strategies and integrate key messages across the organisation. You'll also support the development of creative content for key partnerships and campaigns, ensuring content aligns with our brand and campaign objectives.

What we want from you

We're looking for someone who's experienced in supporting strategy and delivering major campaigns and brand moments that make a real difference and help us connect with new audiences. You'll have a solid understanding of current communications practices and a keen eye on emerging trends, bringing fresh ideas to the table.


With excellent project management skills, you'll be comfortable in using collaboration tools like Trello to keep everything on track. You'll be highly organised, proactive and comfortable juggling multiple priorities.


You'll be skilled in developing and delivering creative, engaging content for different platforms, making sure it's always aligned with our brand and tone of voice. You'll also have strong analytical skills, able to quickly digest complex information and turn it into clear, actionable insights.


Above all, you'll be an excellent communicator -- someone who can translate technical detail into plain, accessible language, build trusted relationships at senior levels, and work effectively with a range of external partners and stakeholders.


If you're looking for your next communications role where you'll inspire action and help drive positive change for men, we'd love to hear from you.

Why work with us?

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.

Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion

At Prostate Cancer UK we're committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Allies to Black communities. We'll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We're also working to be Allies to each other, not only protected groups. In 2024, we launched our New Allyship Training Programme. All colleagues at Prostate Cancer UK will be trained to act and identify as an Ally.


We've also signed Business in the Communities Race at Work Charter, as a dedication to our Black health equity work and wider EDI priorities. As a signatory, we're responsible and accountable for driving positive change.

Our people networks

We're continuously learning more about the needs of our colleagues, and have three amazing People Networks, sponsored by our Leadership team:


Pride - A safe space where LGBTQ+ colleagues -- and our allies -- can share their diverse lived experiences, celebrate LGBTQ+ culture and history, and create new ideas about how our organisation can be more inclusive and representative of LGBTQ+ people Mind & Body - Here to increase awareness, promote wellbeing and support colleagues affected by neurodiversity, mental health problems, disability and long-term illness Culture Club - Here to increase awareness and celebrate the different cultures and beliefs that we have in the organisation, so that we all have our cultures felt and feel welcomed

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. We're very welcome to work there more frequently. 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 one day per month.
