Recruitment

Self Help UK is a voluntary sector organisation established in 1982. We promote and encourage self-help groups to empower individuals to take better control of their circumstances or conditions, gain strength from others, and improve their self-care.

Our mission is that together with our national network, we inspire and support self-help leaders through connection, skills, and influence.

Our vision is for self-help leaders to make the biggest possible difference. For more people to feel empowered and able to actively take control of their own health and wellbeing.

Within Self Help UK, there are several delivery streams including:

• Cancer Support Services including the Beyond Diagnosis project and our PCN work.
• Deaf Support Services including the Deaf Cancer Support Project.
• Community Outreach and our online Learning Centre.

We value diversity and welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds. We seek to employ people based on their ability to carry out the requirements of the role and no applicant will receive less favourable treatment on the grounds of disability, gender, race, religion or belief, age, sexual orientation, marital status, parental status, or caring responsibilities.
