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.
Main Duties And Responsibilities
Service design and development
- Support the Survivorship Manager to design and develop new support programmes aimed at improving the non-medical supports offered by the Society to people impacted by cancer, with a particular focus on supports delivered in the community.
- Working across the Services Team, ensure that the counselling, coaching and other support programmes are integrated into the overall patient journey for people accessing the Society's services.
- Coordinate, lead and ensure successful delivery of the Society's counselling programme for people impacted by cancer. This is currently delivered directly through virtual channels and by way of grant agreement with community based cancer support centres.
- Coordinate, lead and ensure successful delivery of new programmes, once established.
- Develop policies and processes to administer the counselling and coaching programmes and other approved grants to community support centres and ensure reporting procedures are adhered too.
- Draft budgets and supervise approved budget spend. Budgetary and reporting processes are monitored monthly with Survivorship Manager.
- Ensure the quality assurance of programmes and work for the continuous improvement of each service.
- Develop effective monitoring and evaluation systems for each programme, and work to ensure their effective implementation.
- Report on key indicators agreed for each area of work, and document and report on programme learnings.
- Build and maintain relationships with community cancer support centres and other relevant agencies to support the ongoing development of evidence informed programmes to respond to the specific needs of people impacted by cancer.
- Build effective relationships across the Society and work in collaboration with Services Team and wider Irish Cancer Society colleagues to contribute to the successful delivery of the organisational strategy.
- Assist with special projects as required or self-determined to enhance the Society's Services capacity and/or programmatic objectives.
- Other duties as required by manager. This job description is not exhaustive; it merely acts as a guide and may be amended to meet the changing requirements of the Society at any time after discussion with the post holder.

- A minimum of 3 years relevant work experience in programme coordination, project management, design and/or implementation of new services and stakeholder engagement. The Irish Cancer Society measures experience by the quality of the experience gained, rather than number of years worked.
