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 reached a stage in my life where I needed to change what I was doing. My kids had reached an age where they didn’t need so much support day to day and I was looking for a full time role. I was really interested in third sector. 

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 have a customer facing role, working directly with people who have Cancer and just knowing that you’re having an impact with one phone call and hearing the positive change in their voice is the best part of my role.
