We’re Anthony Nolan and we save the lives of people with blood cancer who need a stem cell transplant. We’re unique. Thanks to the incredible donors on our register, our pioneering research and our passionate fundraisers, we give the chance of life to three people a day. But we won’t stop there. We want to be there for everyone who needs a transplant; from finding a match, through every step of a patient’s transplant journey. And together we can reach the remarkable day when we can save the lives of everyone with blood cancer. And now we want you to join our lifesaving team. We are looking for an experienced Senior Policy and Public Affairs Officer to join our Policy and Public Affairs Team.

Anthony Nolan is ambitious about our influencing work and what we can achieve for patients. As Senior Policy and Public Affairs (PPA) Officer, you will promote understanding of Anthony Nolan’s lifesaving work among a wide range of influencing audiences. You will take a leading role in monitoring the health and research policy environments and ensuring colleagues are fully up to speed about the changing political and policy landscape and how it affects our work.
