The organisation
Somerville Heart Foundation is a patient organisation and registered charity, for young people and adults born with a heart condition. Set up over 30 years ago, by Professor Jane Somerville, a cardiologist who saw first-hand that a lifelong ‘community’ of support would be desperately needed for those she was able to help medically.
Somerville Heart Foundation has been providing community support, resources and services for those with ACHD (Adult Congenital Heart Disease) for over 30 years and is going from strength to strength. We are seeking an exceptional person who wants to be part of that journey.
The Somerville Heart Foundation provides a range of services to individuals as well as the ACHD teams in specialist hospitals and are building further on those relationships as well as collaborating with other organisations to build partner relations. We offer a supportive environment to enable staff to feel confident in contributing their ideas and possible progression for a dedicated enthusiastic team player.
