About NW Hearts Charity

NW Hearts Charity is a young burgeoning charity with a big ambition – to improve heart health outcomes across Greater Manchester.

There are around 7.6 million people living with heart disease in the UK. Heart and Circulatory diseases account for 1 in 4 deaths in the UK. This figure is even higher in Greater Manchester. The health of the people in Greater Manchester has been worse than the England average for many years, with a higher number of risk factors for heart disease.

Although there are many examples of world-beating care and clinicians in Greater Manchester, there is still significant variation in care. Not everyone gets the heart treatment they should receive at the time they really need it. Great care should be promoted and celebrated whilst inequities in care must change.

Our Vision

Great heart health for all across Greater Manchester, with equal access to services, facilities and expertise.

Mission

• To redress the inequalities of information and access to high quality services across Greater Manchester.
• To promote prevention, education, equality and excellence in heart care.
• To fund and support impactful projects which improve lives.

Our Values

• Collaborative – We are part of our community, and we work together to make the biggest difference.
• Ambitious – We are resilient and have the drive and determination to achieve more.
• Innovative – We pioneer new approaches to address established problems.
• Inclusive – We want everyone to feel valued and welcome to engage with us.
• Integrity – We will do what we say we are going to, in an open and ethical way.

The Role

We are looking for a special person who has many talents, not least of which is to ensure that the charity remains strong and resilient and able to deliver on its commitment; growing and evolving to meet the needs of the people we serve.

The role is a mix of strategic leadership, operational duties and the building and nurturing of external relationships.

This includes business planning, financial management, operational management, fundraising, networking, line management and marketing. Working alongside a committed Board of Trustees and skilled staff and volunteers, you will bring drive, innovation and passion to the team. You’ll get terrific support from the outgoing postholder as needed, with the space to act and bring your own ideas to the forefront.
