At Cancer Research UK, we exist to beat cancer.
We are professionals with purpose, beating cancer every day. But we need to go much further and much faster. That's why we're looking for someone talented, someone who wants to develop their skills, someone like you.
Cancer Research UK's Strategic Evidence team is part of our Evidence & Implementation department within the Policy, Information & Communication directorate. The Strategic Evidence team is integral in driving impact for people affected by cancer by placing evidence at the heart of the charity's work. Through robust research, the team shapes and drives improvements to cancer policy and practice across early diagnosis, treatment, outcomes, inequalities, and innovation.
As a Strategic Evidence Officer, you'll play an impactful role in helping shape policy and practice to improve cancer patient outcomes. You'll support and inform the life-saving work of our Strategic Evidence team and PIC directorate by reviewing, consolidating, and sharing high-quality evidence, data, and insights across the cancer pathway (particularly in diagnosis, treatment, and innovation).
Your day-to-day work will involve monitoring and interpreting cutting-edge research (including peer-reviewed studies and grey literature), and translating findings into clear, actionable communications and outputs. You'll collaborate with a wide range of internal teams and external stakeholders (including researchers), while acting as a champion for the charity and our research.
What You'll Be Doing
- Build a strong understanding of the cancer evidence base, using scientific literature, data and insights from CRUK and beyond
- Monitor, review and critically appraise research evidence, including peer-reviewed and grey literature
- Analyse and synthesise complex findings into clear, accessible reports and outputs
- Support senior colleagues to identify key insights and translate evidence into strategy, policy and practice
- Track ongoing and emerging research, working closely with internal teams and external experts
- Share evidence and insights with a range of audiences, both internally and externally
- Collaborate with teams across the charity to develop evidence-based content and resources
- Contribute to projects and programmes across the directorate as needed
- Act as an ambassador for Cancer Research UK and represent our work externally
What You'll Bring
- Experienced professional with a background in a relevant field (e.g., public health, life sciences, epidemiology).
- Ideally has a relevant post-graduate qualification, but we welcome applicants who are qualified by experience.
- Strong evidence searching, critical appraisal and analytical skills
- Ability to quickly distil complex information into clear, impactful messages
- Experience working in science, health, or policy environments
- Excellent written, verbal and interpersonal communication skills
- Experience building relationships with colleagues and stakeholders
- A proactive, self-motivated approach with the ability to manage competing priorities
- Strong problem-solving skills and a commitment to continuous improvement
Why join us?
- Be part of a purpose-driven organisation tackling cancer through world-class research
- Help turn evidence into real-world impact for patients
- Work collaboratively with passionate experts across science, policy and healthcare
Our organisation values are designed to guide all that we do.
Bold: Act with ambition, courage and determination
Credible: Act with rigour and professionalism
Human: Act to have a positive impact on people
Together: Act inclusively and collaboratively
We're looking for people who can believe in and embody these organisation values and can use them to drive forward progress against our mission to beat cancer.
If you're interested in applying and excited about working with us but are unsure if you have the right skills and experience we'd still love to hear from you.
