At Cancer Research UK, we exist to beat cancer.

We're looking for an experienced and creative social media professional to join our team and help deliver impactful campaigns that inspire supporters, raise awareness and drive engagement with Cancer Research UK's work with a focus on key brand, health and science campaigns.

What will I be doing?

  • Lead the development and delivery of integrated social media campaigns.
  • Create engaging organic content and oversee content planning.
  • Deliver and optimise paid social campaigns across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok.
  • Monitor performance using social media analytics and Google Analytics.
  • Build relationships with stakeholders, agencies and external partners.
  • Line manage and develop members of the social media team.

What are we looking for?

  • Significant social media experience in a large organisation, brand or charity.
  • Experience delivering integrated campaigns.
  • Paid social advertising expertise.
  • Experience using Google Analytics and reporting tools.
  • Excellent communication, editorial and content creation skills.
  • Strong stakeholder management and relationship-building skills

This role includes participation in a rotating out-of-hours support rota (typically 3-4 evening or weekend shifts per month) and occasional attendance at external events and offsite shoots throughout the year.

Our organisation values are designed to guide all that we do.

Act with ambition, courage and determination

Credible: Act with rigour and professionalism

Human: Act to have a positive impact on people

Together: Act inclusively and collaboratively

There’s a place for everyone at Cancer Research UK. Our vision is to create a charity where everyone feels like they belong, benefits from and participates in, the work we do. We're committed to creating an inclusive culture where everyone can be themselves and reach their full potential.

We actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and cultures, in particular those from ethnic minority backgrounds who are currently under-represented, and believe that a diverse workforce will help us to beat cancer sooner.

If you’re interested in applying and excited about working with us but are unsure if you have the right skills and experience we’d still love to hear from you. We don’t expect everyone to meet all of the criteria listed.

We want to see every candidate performing at their best throughout the job application process, interview process and whilst at work. We therefore ask you to inform us of any concerns you have or any adjustments you might need to enable this to happen by emailing us at [email protected].

Unfortunately, we are unable to recruit anyone below the age of 18, so that we can protect young people from health & safety and safeguarding risks.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
