Time commitment is 10-15 days per annum.

We sincerely hope your life hasn’t been impacted by pancreatic cancer, but sadly if it has, you will share our sense of injustice and determination to improve the outlook for those who receive the diagnosis.

It defies belief that survival rates have barely improved over the last 50 years. Shockingly:

- c. 10,500 people a year are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, but it has the lowest survival with around 9,000 people dying every year.

- 50% of people diagnosed die within three months.

- The UK is trailing behind the rest of the world. Five-year survival is less than 7%, putting the UK in a pitiful 29th position out of 33 countries.

- Despite being a common cancer and having the poorest survival rates, only 3% of the annual UK cancer research budget goes into pancreatic cancer.

But there is real hope. Pancreatic Cancer UK, with its network of global charities and research institutions are confident that over the next few years we will see the major breakthroughs in the early diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer. Pioneering research part funded by Pancreatic Cancer UK, including early diagnosis through blood tests, aim to dramatically improve survival rates.

We need more people to join our cause to help provide vital funding, raise awareness and campaign for the change and are seeking a Treasurer to support the charity at this pivotal moment. We are looking for candidates who bring experience of financial management and oversight at a senior level and who share our belief that the future for people affected by pancreatic cancer is a brighter one.

We seek every opportunity to increase the diversity of our team and welcome applications from all sectors and backgrounds.

We hope that this role excites you. To learn more please visithttps://starfishsearch.com/jobs/pcuk-treasurer/
