HR Officer

This role will work across the People and Culture team with a focus on Learning and Development, Well‑being and Engagement. You will also get involved in supporting our community with a range of general queries and supporting the efficient running of the team.

• Coordinate internal and external learning events, including scheduling, logistics, materials, communications, and gathering and analysing feedback.
• Support the planning and delivery of engagement activities, including staff surveys, follow‑up actions and communications.
• Support the administration of the employee lifecycle, including recruitment, onboarding, changes to employment and off‑boarding.

Being a part of our team means being part of a thriving, positive, dynamic, successful, and welcoming community that is making an impact. We support you and develop you if you wish, and give you the opportunity to be involved in activities beyond the scope of your immediate role. We care about your health and well‑being and your work‑life balance, and you will feel that your contribution is valued and matters.

We go above and beyond for everyone affected by this disease. Today, half of people with pancreatic cancer die within three months of diagnosis. Families are left with only hope to hold onto. They need more. We do more – we bring more breakthrough through research, more change through campaigning, and more support through our expert nurses. We make more noise because people have gone unheard.

We are relentless because the disease is ruthless. We care more because people feel forgotten, because people with pancreatic cancer need more than hope.

• Courage
• Compassion
• Community

We cannot achieve our vision without employing people who are committed to our vision, strategy and values. At Pancreatic Cancer UK (PCUK) our ambition is to create an inclusive working environment that reflects the communities and audiences we engage with and where everyone can be their true selves, feel respected, championed, heard and supported. We want our workforce to achieve their potential, understand their contribution and feel proud of their impact by creating a culture and organisation that is genuinely inclusive by advancing equality, diversity, inclusion and belonging through our policies and practices.

Our diversity drives great outcomes by encouraging the different points of view that come from a diverse workforce. We also look especially keen to consider applications from suitable applicants who consider themselves to be in areas that appear under‑represented within the charity sector.

Our London office is a place to connect, collaborate and celebrate with colleagues. We recognise that flexibility around where you work is just as important. We are currently working hybrid with a minimum of 2‑3 days in the office. This is an office‑based role where you may be required to be in the office more frequently to attend activities and meetings depending on the needs of the team.

• You enjoy variety, are confident in managing multiple priorities and are passionate about providing a great employee experience.
• You have worked in an HR role previously, preferably with experience supporting Learning and Development activity.
• You are comfortable with computer systems – a lot of what you’ll do will be on Microsoft 365, including Copilot, as well as our HR and talent systems.
• You can communicate effectively with different audiences, whether it is drafting internal comms content, dealing with an employee query or supporting a senior manager with their recruitment campaign.
• You can review processes you are working on and suggest improvements that improve our service and make things smoother for our people.
