About Prostate Scotland

At Prostate Scotland, we are dedicated to supporting men across Scotland in their prostate health journey. Nearly 1 in 2 men in Scotland will be affected by prostate disease at some stage of their lives and 1 in 10 are likely to develop prostate cancer. Our mission is to inform, educate, support, campaign, and advance on prostate disease in Scotland.  Find out more at Home - Prostate Scotland

About Socialudo

Socialudo is a small social enterprise dedicated to helping organisations and communities achieve positive change through using serious games. Co-founded by Professor Vikki McCall and Professor Alasdair Rutherford, Socialudo specialises in the design, delivery and evaluation of serious games to support learning, reflection and systems change across complex social issues including health, housing and inequality. Socialudo's methodology is research-led and co-produced, and has been independently evaluated by the Social Care Institute for Excellence. Find out more at Serious Play for Serious Change 

Purpose of the Role

The Project Coordinator will manage and work with our partner, Socialudo, to co-deliver our Prostate Matters project which is funded by Macmillan Care Grant.  The Prostate Matters project will co-produce, co-develop and deliver an innovative serious game to improve equity, cultural responsiveness and shared decision-making in prostate cancer care.  Prostate cancer remains one of the most common yet least understood cancers particularly for men from underserved communities. The creation of the game aims to understand barriers such as stigma, culture, race, place and access to services which means some men delay seeking help and struggle to navigate prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment. The Project Coordinator will work with the Socialudo team to establish an Advisory Group and organise and coordinate a conference and a range of four regional co-production workshops across Scotland. These events will bring together men affected by prostate cancer (including from black and minority ethnic communities and those less likely to engage with testing) to work alongside professionals to shape realistic pathways from information-seeking, diagnosis, treatment choice to post diagnostic support.
