Who we are:

Every three minutes, someone in Ireland hears the words ‘You’ve got cancer’. At the Irish Cancer Society, we understand the physical, emotional and financial impact a cancer diagnosis brings. And we are determined to do everything we can to help.

As Ireland’s leading cancer charity, we work across every area of cancer – from prevention and early detection, through to end-of-life care. We make a positive impact for people affected by cancer every day: investing in life-saving and life-changing research; providing practical, financial and emotional supports; and driving improvements in public cancer services.

OVERALL RESPONSIBILITY

A cancer diagnosis impacts all areas of a person’s life. At the Irish Cancer Society, we aim to reduce this burden of cancer and improve the quality of life for everyone affected by cancer.

The role of the Support Programmes Coordinator is to coordinate the provision of support services, such as counselling, coaching and other psycho-social supports for people impacted by cancer. These supports and services will be delivered through multiple channels.

You will work to improve the delivery of existing services and support your manager to identify, develop and deliver new support services to help reduce the burden of cancer and improve the quality of life of people affected by cancer.

The role also includes the opportunity to work closely with community based cancer support groups and other existing and new external partners to enable the Society to deliver evidence based high impact services.
