Macmillan Cancer Support was taken under fire yesterday for recruiting one £ 100,000 a year head of equity, Diversity & Inclusion-EOp recently a quarter of his workforce.
The charity said that the successful applicant will “stimulate cultural change” and “will build a real inclusive environment, where all colleagues can belong and do their best work.”
The vacancy also says that the chosen candidate is obliged to work only 34.5 hours a week, so that their time is 'split between home and our office in London'.
The opening comes a few months after the cash-trappe charity had reduced more than 400 jobs in the midst of what it described as a 'cool financial climate'.
It also closed some services included the 100-year hardship schedule that offers millions of pounds in subsidies to thousands of cancer patients.
Rupert Lowe, the reform Member of Parliament, evoked that the advertisement of its website was removed and accused the charity of pushing a 'division ideology'.
He said the mail: 'Many well -meaning Britons that give Macmillan money, hoping that it supports cancer patients, will be particularly abandoned.
“This role must be deleted, where every penny is placed to front line services.”

Important responsibilities for the role of £ 90,000 £ 98,000 include monitoring progress on 'EDI objectives', building relationships with stakeholders and helping to build up 'cultural competence'.
And Macmillan strongly encourages individuals to have a 'disability, limitation or health or persons who identify themselves as black, Asian or from another ethnic minority background'.
Karol Sikora, founding dean of the Medical School of the University of Buckingham, said it was 'outrageous' for Macmillan to make the title known and at the same time save the costs.
The cancer specialist added: 'Donors want the money to go to patient care, not this kind of virtue signaling.
'What is this person in the case of double salary of a nurse? They will inevitably hinder frontliniezorg personnel by doing ridiculous surveys and giving them to them. '
Inaya Folarin Iman, director of the Equiano Project, a think tank anti-racism, noted: 'For such well-paid roles, EDI jobs have rarely been investigated for their necessity or effectiveness.
“In fact, there is a lot of evidence that they do more harm than good, by undermining free speech, putting ethnic groups against each other and maintaining ideological conformity.”
According to Yougov, Macmillan is the most popular charity in Great Britain, with income from donations of a total of £ 117 million in 2023.
During a MacMillan event this month, health secretary Wes Streeting insisted on 'ideological hobby types' and 'miserable' practices
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch this week condemned the role of EDI as 'Gif'
However, the Guardian revealed this month that the charity has spent £ 100 million more than it has collected in the last six years due to the rising costs of living.
The charity is financed 98 percent by donations of charity institutions of the public, where the remaining 2 percent comes from charity activities, subsidies and investments.
Macmillan was previously confronted with criticism for creating a culture of 'systemic' racism and discrimination against disabled personnel, according to a destructive internal report from 2022.
Macmillan said at the time that it was 'deep a pity that someone once had a painful or harmful experience' with charity.
The debate about EDI has been intensified in recent weeks after the US President Donald Trump has recently signed an executive order 'ending illegal discrimination and repair of merit -based opportunities' in the federal government.
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch condemned EDI roles this week as 'Gif', while during a Macmillan event this month this month encouraged health secretary Wes Streeting to put an end to 'ideological hobby hobboes' and 'miserable' practices, although the Minister of Labor Cabinet Diversity Programs defended as a whole as a whole.
Research by a work location Adzuna showed that vacancies for dedicated EDI jobs have fallen by 70 percent in the last 12 months, until only 208 in January.
