Apprenticeships

Learn and study for a qualification whilst working in a role that contributes to our mission of supporting people affected by cancer.
Our apprenticeships are for anyone wanting to start their career in a new profession, or to progress their career in their current profession, whilst getting an insight into what it’s like working for one of the UK’s leading charities.
Your personal development
We’re passionate about your personal development.
When you join Cancer Research UK as an apprentice you are welcomed into a network of other apprentices to connect with like-minded people across the organisation and build a supportive network.
Whichever apprenticeship role you take on, you’ll have:
a dedicated line manager to support you in your role
A 121 coach from one of our training providers who guides you through your qualification
As part of our apprentice community, you’ll have the chance to take part in various networking opportunities, fundraising and volunteering activities as well as attend socials and talks.

Join an inclusive team
Beating cancer means beating it for everyone. Our vision is to create a charity where everyone feels like they belong, benefits from and participates in, the work we do.
This will help us make faster progress: it is well known that more diverse organisations perform better, and we will enable our community of cancer researchers to thrive.
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.
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 questions or concerns you have about how we can support you with a disability or health condition or any adjustments you might need to enable this to happen.
Together we will beat cancer.
