Ovarian Cancer Action don't just believe women deserve better, we believe they deserve the best. In 2023, the odds are against women with ovarian cancer surviving more than 5 and 10 years. It’s unacceptable. With more and more women predicted to get ovarian cancer over that period, it’s vital we make faster progress to reach a vision of ovarian cancer being survivable for all women. That's why we’re supercharging our ambitions; to transform survival rates so by 2032 at least half of women with ovarian cancer live for 10 years. 

We are growing our dedicated and passionate team to help support and fulfil our growth plans. We do not currently have any vacancies, but follow us on social to hear about any future opportunities.
