PURPOSE OF THE POST

To improve support and care for people affected by cancer, we need to enhance and develop a better understanding of services, ensuring they are appropriate and relevant to the communities they serve. Early, appropriate health services that engage with people living with cancer are vital to build trust, improve treatments and ultimately improve life chances.

This is a new role, funded by Macmillan Cancer Support to lead the Ealing part of a tri-borough project which aims to recruit, train and manage Cancer Community Champions. You’ll be responsible for shaping the programme and engaging the local community through providing general awareness, support and signposting.

The Early Help System is not a single service. It is a network of services, processes and interactions that aim to help children, young people and families at the earliest opportunity.

Voluntary and Community sector colleagues, we invite you to attend a focused workshop with the aim of facilitating a conversation about how we can work more effectively together to support families in Ealing.

Improving the system requires clarity of what success looks like, shared across a range of partners, and informed by the voices of managers, practitioners, volunteers and families.
