  We're the UK's specialist blood cancer charity and our vision is clear: we're here to beat blood cancer. We fund world-class research; provide information and support to patients and their loved ones; and raise awareness of blood cancer. Since 1960 we have invested more than £500 million in blood cancer research in the UK. Where we've invested, survival rates and quality of life have improved. We've been working to beat blood cancer for over 50 years, and we won't stop until we do. Be a part of our story and help us change the world. We're looking for an exceptional leader with the vision, drive and ability to lead our high-performing policy and influencing team and deliver our ambitions in this space. You'll join at an exciting time following the recent launch of our Blood Cancer Action Plan, which sets out our recommendations for the changes we need to see in the system across the whole pathway to improve outcomes and survival for all blood cancer patients. You'll bring substantial expertise in influencing the system and delivering policy change through your experience in government, NHS, charity or the wider healthcare and life sciences sector. This role offers the right individual the opportunity to make a real difference in realising our vision of beating blood cancer in a generation. Majority of our roles can be performed hybrid. For this role you will be required to attend the office 2-4 days per month on average dependent on business needs. Travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense. Our culture and benefits package are award winning, and our staff survey tells us that we're a great place to work. We are committed to actively promoting equality, diversity, and inclusivity. In line with our strategy we welcome approaches from individuals from underrepresented groups, including minority communities, and applicants with a disability, to better reflect the community we serve and help broaden our perspectives.
