At Cancer Research UK, we exist to beat cancer.

At Cancer Research UK, we know that when people feel included, engaged and cared for, they can do their best work-and that's how we'll achieve our vision to bring forward the day all cancers are cured. As an Employee Experience & Inclusion Advisor, you'll turn colleague voice and experience signals into insights, identifying practical changes that make a real difference to everyday experiences. From shaping policies and processes to creating tools and resources, you'll help embed inclusion and wellbeing into everything we do.

You'll join a team of two Advisors, each with a unique focus: one leading on Insights & Voice, the other on Solutions & Adoption. Together, you'll make sure every voice is heard and every improvement lands.

What will I be doing?

• Listen and learn-run surveys, forums and other feedback activities, ensuring they're ethical, inclusive and accessible.
• Turn insights into action-summarise feedback, extract insight, track progress and visibly close the loop with contributors.
• Design practical improvements-work with others to create simple, scalable changes to policies and processes.
• Create useful tools for managers-develop guides, prompts and support team sessions that build engagement, inclusion and wellbeing.
• Champion everyday wellbeing-translate insights into practices that promote clarity, recovery and psychological safety, and signpost support where needed.
• Maintain and improve recognition tools-check they're fair and inclusive, and suggest updates to increase impact.
• Support digital experience improvements-identify friction points and accessibility issues, and test fixes with users.
• Manage workstreams effectively-track plans, risks and dependencies, and escalate issues when needed.
• Collaborate across teams-coordinate with HRBPs, Internal Communications and Employee Networks to ensure joined-up delivery.
• Embed inclusion and engagement goals-help teams apply standards consistently in everyday practice.
• Safeguard fairness and confidentiality-apply ethical, inclusive principles in every decision and opportunity.

And, of course, you'll be committed to our mission to beat cancer sooner, bringing your expertise to help us create a workplace that reflects our values and ambition.

What are we looking for?

• Understanding of employee experience, inclusion and wellbeing design, including how to map key moments, spot friction points and choose the right approach.
• Experience using employee voice techniques, such as surveys and focus groups, with ethical and inclusive practices.
• Ability to create practical tools for managers and confidently facilitate group sessions to support engagement and wellbeing.
• Knowledge of digital experience and accessibility basics, and ability to contribute clear, inclusive content and feedback.
• Skill in applying inclusion principles to everyday processes, making hiring, onboarding, development and recognition fair and accessible.
• Ability to check for equity and accessibility, reviewing changes and supporting reasonable adjustments.
• Understanding of wellbeing and job design, and how to build clarity, autonomy and psychological safety into team routines.
• Confidence in facilitating sensitive conversations safely, and supporting Employee Networks with clear guidance and feedback loops.
• Ability to interpret and communicate insights clearly, combining data and feedback to support decisions and track progress.
• Strong collaboration skills-working across HR, Technology, Internal Communications and Employee Networks to deliver joined-up improvements.
