The Head of Policy and Research is a newly created role which will be pivotal in steering and navigating the changes we are striving to make in collaboration with others.

Founded in 2002, AMMF was the world’s first charity dedicated solely to cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer). Today, AMMF remains the UK’s only cholangiocarcinoma charity, now working nationally and across Europe, as well as actively collaborating globally.

AMMF provides information and support to those who need it, campaigns to raise awareness of this devastating disease, and encourages and supports specialised research teams in their work towards better diagnostic techniques and treatments and, ultimately a cure.

We are looking for an experienced professional to contribute to the strategic direction of AMMF in the shaping and development of policies and research initiatives which produce meaningful advancements in healthcare aligned with our mission. Ideally you will also bring experience in some of the broader complimentary areas of interest such as advocacy, communications and project management.

This role presents a policy and research professional with and extraordinary opportunity to contribute at both strategic and operational levels working closely with the Chief Executive and Founder, but also the opportunity to join a small but growing ambitious and dedicated team.
