Our vision is to create a diverse charity where everyone feels they belong and benefits from the work we do. We’re committed to funding research into cancer inequalities, diversifying our research community and developing an inclusive culture for all staff. This is how we’ll beat cancer for everyone.
Our specialist teams and departments are structured across six directorates. All of our teams play an important role in supporting our mission.
The Chief Operating Office brings together four exceptions departments under one function - HR, Finance, General Counsel and Technology.
The people in our Marketing, Fundraising and Engagement teams are essential to engaging with the UK public in deep and meaningful ways, ultimately growing our fundraising.
The Philanthropy team help the charity to engage with the biggest philanthropists and partners from across the world to build transformative new approaches to cancer research.
The Policy, Information and Communications directorate works to identify and reduce the barriers that are stopping new innovations in cancer prevention, diagnosis and care from being made available and used.
Our Research and Innovation directorate aims to be the world's leading cancer research and innovation organisation.
Our superstores and high street shops across the UK are a major source of our fundraising.
The Strategy team leads on the charity’s corporate strategy. They work with more than 120 partners and philanthropists in the UK and around the world.
Learn more about our different teams
We want to create a working environment that supports everyone’s wellbeing and helps people bring their best selves to work. With compassion at our core and the right practical support in place, we can perform better as a charity and strengthen our ability to beat cancer.
We encourage a flexible working culture, including options such as home-working, reduced or flexi-hours, job shares, job-splits, compressed and core hours.
For the vast majority of our office-based roles we offer a high level of flexibility, meaning that you’ll only be required to work from a specific location for one or two days a week on average.
