Assistant Finance Officer
Robert Half are delighted to be partnered exclusively with Hope for Tomorrow in their search for this key role.
About Hope for Tomorrow
Hope for Tomorrow is an exceptional charity enabling essential cancer care through mobile cancer care units that serve in partnership with NHS trusts across the nation. Hope for Tomorrow brings cancer services closer to patients in their communities, eliminating the need for long, frequent, and often exhausting hospital trips.
These mobile cancer care units travel into communities, parking at convenient locations, like community hospitals, garden centres and supermarket car parks. There, the dedicated staff on board can provide cancer care for up to 20 patients per day in a more accessible, comfortable and familiar environment. Patients receive the same exceptional clinical standards as in hospital, with added benefits that matter, helping to improve the cancer journey for patients and their loved ones.
Being treated locally saves time and money on travel and parking. It removes the stress of navigating vast hospital sites and the worry of long waits and disrupted days. Instead, patients step into a calm, welcoming environment where they're seen promptly. Many patients also value the sense of camaraderie with other patients from their area, creating a supportive, friendly atmosphere.
The charity's fleet of mobile units currently operates in regions including Gloucestershire, South Wiltshire, Kent, Suffolk, Essex, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Norfolk. In August 2024, Hope for Tomorrow launched an innovative lung health assessment unit, marking their first venture into screening services to bring vital lung health checks directly to communities across Greater Manchester.
