In this role, you will be responsible for driving significant growth, increasing the reach and uptake of our services, and maximising our impact, so that we can improve the physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing of those affected by breast cancer.

An exceptional communicator, you will have a confident and empowering leadership style with a mentoring approach to lead a dynamic and effective team that can deliver diverse, innovative, and sector-leading activities. You will bring experience of engaging at board level and have an understanding of charity governance and the ability to influence and manage complex stakeholder relationships.

We’re committed to promoting equity, valuing diversity, and creating an inclusive environment – for everyone who works for us, works with us, supports us, and who we support, and actively welcome applications from underrepresented communities.
