At Cancer Research UK, we exist to beat cancer.
We’re looking for an inspiring Training and Quality Coordinator to join our fundraising team.
Our fundraising teams are essential to our Engage Strategy through engaging with the public in deep and meaningful ways, ultimately growing Cancer Research UK’s fundraising and income capabilities, to fund and raise awareness for our life-saving research.
This role will be both desk-based and ‘in the field’ meaning no day will be the same and you’ll discover something new every day. For example, some days you will be shadowing fundraisers onsite across the UK, collaborating with internal and external stakeholders, suppliers and agencies, supporting the mystery shopping programmes, identifying trends and improvements, helping to create engagement tools and materials, delivering training to our fundraisers both in-person across the UK and virtually, contributing to the team’s strategy, and many more.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
