**Scottish charity Worldwide Cancer Research is relocating from its base in St Andrews
to new headquarters in Edinburgh, and recruiting over 25 new members of staff.**

[Worldwide Cancer Research](https://www.worldwidecancerresearch.org/) is working
with [BTA](http://www.brucetaitassociates.net/) on the project, which believes it
is the biggest and broadest recruitment campaign ever undertaken for a Scottish 
charity. BTA will be working across all departments to recruit the staff, beginning
this month and continuing to April 2019. The new roles will span all areas of the
charity’s operations, from research to communications.

From its base in Stirling, BTA’s entire team will be involved in a campaign that
will see them engage with thousands of applicants from the private, public and voluntary
sectors. The recruitment process will involve weeks of candidate screening and the
team will sit in on over 25 days of interviewing.

BTA’s joint Chief Executive, Bruce Tait said:

> “We are delighted to be working in partnership with Worldwide Cancer Research 
> as part of this exciting development. For some charities, this rate of recruitment
> might have caused issues, but Worldwide Cancer Research’s strong operational culture
> of “Together We Can” makes a campaign like this possible. In fact, it’s a great
> way to develop a cross-organisational culture amongst a large staff group, all
> recruited through the same process at the same time. We are determined to find
> them many great new employees.”

Dr Helen Rippon, CEO of Worldwide Cancer Research, said:

> “This is a hugely exciting time for the charity. With 40 years of incredible discoveries
