About us

At Macmillan you'll find talented people working together to do whatever it takes to support people living with cancer. We're going all out to find even better ways to help even more people who need our support. Our values are at the heart of who we are and everything we do, inspiring our thinking and guiding our actions.

Do you have sharp organisational skills and admin experience, and want to support our work with storytellers who have lived experience of cancer? If so, this could be the role for you. 

About the role 

This permanent role will support our stories team (and the wider communications, content and brand division) to implement and maintain key systems and processes that make their vital work producing engaging stories content as effective as possible.

The postholder will report to our Senior Stories Manager, providing a core administrative and liaison role within the stories team, supporting them in a range of ways, including keeping track of requests from internal teams to work with people with cancer who have chosen to share their story with us for example, and ensuring they are responded to; and they will upload, manage and ensure consent and data protection documentation is up-to-date for the Macmillan Library, our central database of stories and photography.

The role includes a chance to work with lots of different people and teams, opportunities to learn about storyteller engagement and content, and a close connection to exciting and powerful work with storytellers.

About you

We are looking for someone with strong organisational skills, experience in an administrative role, and who is confident with the main Microsoft Office applications, as well as communicating with people affected by cancer. 

You’ll bring excellent interpersonal skills, a commitment to our values, the ability to prioritise, respect confidentiality and the importance of attention to detail and data protection. 

In return, we offer a range of benefits including:

• 25 days holiday plus flexible bank holiday options, increasing by 1 day every year of service up to 30 days 
• Pension matched up to 7.5%
• 120+ learning and development offers, with access to external professional qualifications
