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.

As I was applying for jobs, I saw the Macmillan name and it’s such a well-known charity that does incredible work for people affected by Cancer. I’ve lost a couple of people in my life from Cancer so I thought it would be perfect for me.

It helps that I can give back.

Working in the People Advisory Team means I look after People, it’s a People-centric and stakeholder management focused role. I look after the needs of our colleagues, managers and key stakeholders making sure that everybody in their role is well supported.

I have worked in cancer services with NHS for 8 years. I’ve worked with people with cancer and I wanted to work in a different field but still be able to provide service to people living with cancer. I wanted to apply my skills that I learnt with NHS and be able to spend quality time with people and help them release their fears and help them relax.
