UK Cardiomyopathy UK is the national charity for people affected by cardiomyopathy. Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, which affects around 1 in every 250 people, or 264,000 people in the UK. It is a group of conditions that affect the structure of the heart and reduce its ability to pump blood around the body. It can have a devastating impact on the lives of people of all ages and is often inherited. We provide support and information services, raise awareness of the condition amongst the public and healthcare professionals, advocate for improved access to appropriate care and treatment, and fund research. We are a small, friendly staff team working flexibly between our office in Amersham (London tube zone 9), and home. We are committed to equality and diversity and would welcome applications from all sections of the community.
