When I saw the job it really stood out to me because I was someone who has experience of loved ones with Cancer in the family; my dad previously had cancer. It stood out as an opportunity to really make a difference and help people.

I have always been fortunate to have worked in roles which impact people’s lives. Working in L&D at Macmillan gave me the opportunity to direct impact the lives of those who engaged with any of our learning interventions and then be better equipped to support those effected by cancer.

I think I always knew I wanted to work in the third sector but it was a roundabout way to get here. 

I worked in Tech before, had enough of that and decided to pursue my dream. I quit my job and this role at Macmillan came up and it felt like fate.

I’m passionate about our cause and our work, the role looked amazing, and – having worked for a charity previously – I knew I’d be working alongside people who are driven, well-intentioned and supportive.
