Cancer Research UK, the Health and Social Care Board of Northern Ireland and 2 HSC Trusts are partnering to improve the prevention and earlier diagnosis of cancer. Our Facilitator Programme provides facilitators in local HSC Trust areas to work with a range of health professionals across the cancer pathway to raise the profile of cancer, identify activities to improve cancer outcomes and make change happen at a local level. Each Facilitator has a tailored workplan that has been developed in partnership to address local priorities

• Manage, train, develop and support a small team of Health Professional Engagement Facilitators
• Lead the evaluation of the project for the region (the Programme will work initially with health professionals in Belfast and South Eastern HSC Trusts)

As Health Professional Engagement Facilitator Manager, you’ll be required to spend approximately 50% of your time undertaking core Facilitator activities such as building effective relationships with GP practices within the locality to raise the awareness of the importance of early detection and screening. You’ll also work closely with GP Practices to encourage the effective use of GP Practice data and undertake interventions that support the earlier detection of cancer. Approximately 50% of your time will be focused on people management, project management and coordination duties.
