Who we are
Health Equalities Group (HEG) is a public health charity started in 2005 under the original name ‘Heart of Mersey’. The charity’s objective is the prevention of non-communicable diseases (cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cancers) and reduction of health inequalities with a primary focus on communities based in North West England.

The role
As part of our plans for growth we are seeking a new trustee from a corporate communications and/or public relations background to play an advisory role for the charity. We would particularly value the following skills and experience:

Communications:

We are keen to secure new trustees from a communications background, with a specific focus on corporate communications, public relations and media relations. HEG currently delivers life changing programmes at both regional and national level, and we need to strengthen awareness of our work and the issues we are tackling through engagement of the mass media and through targeted stakeholder relations. Experience of public relations and/or public affairs, and a strong track record of engaging both regional and national media would be hugely beneficial for this role.
