HR Manager

For one in two of us, cancer will change everything.

When it does, so can we.

Weston Park Cancer Charity is here to face cancer with you. Our services, advice and support are for you and the people close to you, helping everyone to live with and beyond cancer. The funds we raise also support vital, pioneering research and clinical trials led by the exceptional medical experts at Weston Park Cancer Centre. It’s our job to care in every sense for our patients and their families.

Our help is free, and we’re here for you, together every step.

Main purpose of post:

You will help foster a culture of compassion, belonging, and learning and development so that we can attract and retain the best people. It is our people who enable us to support those affected by cancer across South Yorkshire, Bassetlaw and North Derbyshire.
