As the not-for-profit federation of member organisations working in cancer at a European level, the European Cancer Organisation convenes oncology professionals and patients to agree policy, advocate for positive change and speak up for the European cancer community.
The European Cancer Organisation is working with our members, patient groups and other partners on a number of important initiatives, including projects and campaigns linked to the impact of COVID-19 on Cancer and the rights of patients during their cancer journey. We have a small team, based in Brussels, that seeks to build consensus on policy issues, influence European institutions to reduce the burden of cancer and improve/save lives, as well as act as a convenor around our Focused Topic Networks.
We are looking for someone to join our team, initially for a 6 month period, to co-ordinate the next stages of these projects. We are looking for someone with experience of organising campaigns in phases with multiple stakeholders and funding partners in an international context. Ideally, this person would have experience of advocacy work in healthcare and/or working with EU and national institutions, including on securing influence and/or funding. We need someone who is “hands on” and can manage projects with great inter-personal, communication and organisational skills, with experience of working with colleagues across Europe, who can work on their own initiative and is a great team member.
For the right person, we can be flexible on time commitment per week and location (working from home in Europe) and there is definitely potential to secure a permanent position in our team if everything goes well! We are looking for someone to start as soon as possible, ideally this month. If you are interested, please contact Giacomo.Lazzaro@europeancancer.org by 18 January 2021 with your CV and covering letter of 2 pages maximum, including details of your availability, possible start date and salary expectations.
