About Heart Research UK

Every five minutes someone dies from heart diseases in the UK, and it is likely that we will all be affected one day. At Heart Research UK we are tackling this problem head on. Our work focuses on developing lifesaving medical research to find new treatments and cures, delivering ground-breaking training and education, and helping communities to improve their heart health. We won’t stop until there are no more deaths from heart diseases.

Our values:

Trustworthy – We do what we say we will and explain why if we can’t. When people choose to give us their money, we ensure we spend it wisely on projects that are most important to those affected by heart diseases. We are clear about what we expect from our people, and we support them in work and life.

Ambitious – We want to bring an end to all heart diseases and on our journey, we want to help as many people as possible to live healthier and longer lives. We want to raise more so we can do more. We know that as a smaller organisation some people will stay with us for the ride while others will move on – we support the development of our teams so they can achieve their goals. We encourage new ways of doing things and know that we won’t always get it right, but we will learn from everything we do.

Passionate – We believe in what we are doing, no one should die from heart diseases. We are doing everything we can to help save lives. We embrace emotion! We want to support everyone – to have innovative ideas that bring change and promote growth. Our people can be confident that we have their back, and they can enjoy their time with us.

Our people:

We are currently a team of 40 people and growing. There are currently six people in the Marketing and Communications Team. Since the pandemic, we have moved to a hybrid working model, with some of our team members working remotely, with occasional trips to our Leeds and Birmingham offices, and travel to events around the UK.

We look after our team and have developed a number of wellbeing initiatives to help support our staff. This includes regular wellbeing sessions which cover various themes such as sleeping well, nutrition and goal setting, as well as a range of other staff benefits.

This is an exciting time to join the charity as we have recently launched our new long-term strategy, building on our ambitions to make an even bigger difference to the lives of people developing or dying from heart diseases.

We are looking for someone to join our energetic, collaborative, and dedicated team. Someone who will contribute to our culture and have the drive and passion to help us achieve our ambitious goals.
