Head of Communications

Cardiomyopathy UK is for anyone whose life is impacted by the heart muscle disease, cardiomyopathy. We work to save and improve the lives of people with the condition, and their loved ones, throughout the UK because we believe that everyone affected by cardiomyopathy should live a long and fulfilling life.

We bring together people with cardiomyopathy, their loved ones, medical experts, researchers, professional staff and other stakeholders to ensures we have the insight, lived experience, clinical knowledge and skills we need to make a real and lasting difference to people's lives.

Since our establishment over thirty years ago, we work to provide support and information so that nobody faces cardiomyopathy alone. We fight for better access to treatment so more people get the help they need, we shape research so that it truly addresses the needs of our community, and we raise awareness so more people seek help sooner and fewer people are at risk.

As a growing charity, we now need a Head of Communications to join our Senior Leadership Team and lead our communications and marketing function so that we can improve our ability to:

• Bring more people into our community as service users, supporters and volunteers so that anyone affected by cardiomyopathy knows how we can help and we can continue to extend our work
   
• Ensure that our advocacy messages are articulated clearly and persuasively to all stakeholders so more people can get the care and treatment that they need
   
• Increase awareness of cardiomyopathy across all communities so that fewer people are at risk of sudden death
