Events and Community Coordinator

We’re looking for an Events and Community Coordinator to join our Events and Community Team. We’re a results-driven team focused on maximising opportunities, reaching ambitious goals, and delivering an outstanding experience for our supporters.

Our team raises funds through a range of activities including helping community fundraisers who organise their own activity. You’ll be our first point of contact for our fundraisers, providing admin and support through telephone, email, and social media channels. You’ll build and manage relationships with existing and new supporters. From registration to the end of their supporter journey, you’ll help motivate during challenges, offer fundraising advice, and ensure thanks at the end of a first-class experience.

While each Coordinator has a primary area of responsibility across different types of events, you’ll also work across teams to support where needed during busy periods of activity. This role sits within the Community Fundraising sub-team, supporting people organising their own fundraiser, from bake sales to head shaves and unique walking and cycling challenges. Day-to-day, you’ll manage our inbox and proactively reach out to new fundraisers to offer support and guidance, as well as delivering core processes like thanking, fulfilment, and volunteer management in collaboration with other internal teams.

You’ll also work with our Communications teams to support the planning and delivery of our activity. You will help engage with our digital adverts and identify compelling supporter stories. This helps to raise the profile of our fundraising activity, as well as prostate cancer and Prostate Cancer UK.

You’ll have the drive and eagerness to provide crucial support to our sector-leading programme of events which generated over £41m of gross income in 2025-6. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone early in their fundraising career to grow, develop, and gain valuable skills and experience in a fundraising role within a progressive and innovative organisation. You’ll be part of a passionate and high-energy team working hard to create a world where no man dies from prostate cancer.

You’ll make a positive and valuable contribution to the success of the Events and Community Fundraising team through excellent communication skills and being proactive in supporting our event participants. You’ll have a strong eye for detail, a customer-centric mindset, and will be able to prioritise a busy workload to ensure we are able to consistently deliver excellent supporter care. You’ll be self-motivated, well organised, and have a “can-do” approach to the role.

Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers, and friends each year. Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment, and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.

Join our team and be part of an award-winning charity. We’ll support you to develop your skills and expertise. We offer generous leave entitlements that increase with service, one ‘development day’ a month to use for training or personal development, an enhanced contributory pension scheme, life insurance and group income protection, a health cash plan, life and wellbeing advice and support via our Employee Assistance Programme, discounted gym membership and high street shopping discounts.

This role is in salary Band 2A and is paid at the London Living Wage, currently £14.80 per hour (£28,860 per year full time). After 12 months of successful service, there will be a small increase to the midpoint of the band. Our salaries reflect that the London office is our contractual place of work. We also pay a working-from-home allowance at the HMRC tax-free rate of £312 per year. We are committed to paying at least the London Living Wage for all roles and apply the updated rate each April.

At Prostate Cancer UK, we’re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. To make this happen, we are dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Allies to Black communities. We’ll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We’re also working to be Allies to each other, not only protected groups.

Colleagues attend the office at least four days per month (pro rata for part-time colleagues) to collaborate, build relationships, and support projects and decision-making. You can choose where to work the rest of the time. Travel to the office is a commute, so we pay our own travel costs. Additional in-person attendance will be required during your first few months for induction and training, to support you to learn the role and get to know colleagues.

The closing date is Monday 25 May 2026. Applications must be submitted by 23:45 UK time. Interviews: By arrangement. Currently scheduled for the week of Thursday 4 June 2026.

To complete your application, you’ll be asked to upload your CV and complete the supporting information section through our application portal. Please fill in parts one and two of our application for your personal statement, both have an 8000-character limit. When completing the statements please ensure you clearly provide a full and relevant example of how the criteria apply.
