Jobs

WCRF International and WCRF UK are based in the same office in London, UK.  WCRF UK is a registered charity and WCRF International is the umbrella association, which unites all its member organisations in the different countries.  Our office is in Harley Street in central London, close to the beautiful Regent's Park and the busy shopping area of Oxford Street and Regent Street.

WCRF International and WCRF UK have a diverse office with staff who all have an interest and commitment to healthy living and health promotion.  Our London office is made up of the following departments:

Science and Research Department

Our Science and Research Department coordinates the research grant programme for all the WCRF entities.  It managed the Second Expert Report project published in November 2007 and is currently working on the follow-up Policy Report and the Continuous Update Project.

Education Department

The main objective of the department is to translate scientific evidence on food and lifestyle into positive, motivating and practical messages for reducing the risk of cancer and to communicate these messages through various channels to our supporters, the general public, health professionals, children and other specific audiences.  Our Education team have won many awards for its publications, the most recent being three booklets (Recommendations for Cancer Prevention, Guidelines for Cancer Prevention, Solving the Diet-Cancer Mystery), which were commended by the British Medical Association Patient Information Awards in September 2008.
