With more people than ever living with cancer in Wales, there has never been a greater need for our support. As rates are only estimated to rise, it is vital we continue to meet this growing demand and respond to the needs of everyone affected by cancer.

Over our rich 80-year history, we have established ourselves as the charity people turn to when they are affected by cancer in Wales. Our experienced nurses, counsellors and benefits advisors help more than 2,000 people diagnosed in Wales every year, and with over 1,000 volunteers, 228 staff and a £9.6m turnover, we are determined to champion people’s needs and give the best access to treatment and support.

THE ROLE

We are now looking for a terrific leader to become our new Chief Executive. This high-profile role brings together a challenging breadth of responsibility. It combines leadership, strategy development, income generation, budget and business planning, building and developing effective relationships with all our staff and stakeholders, assured management, oversight of effective delivery and an important ambassadorial role.

You will join a strong and dedicated leadership team committed to delivering excellence across the whole organisation. The ability to work collaboratively both internally and externally is crucial, and excellent leadership, financial acumen, communication and team-building skills are a must. Importantly you will also be someone that shares our values and is passionate about making a difference for those effected by cancer.

We are open to people from different backgrounds and experiences, with an understanding of the third sector in Wales, able to drive our growth and ensure our sustainability now and in the future. 

If you have the passion, experience and qualities to become our new Chief Executive, we very much look forward to hearing from you.
