AMR Action UK is the UK patient organisation for people impacted by antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Our focus is on engagement with patients and their families, delivering direct support through our information service, peer-support through patient panels, and small-scale research projects.

AMR Action UK seeks to empower patients, families, and carers to have their voices heard on matters that affect their lives and to be able to influence research priorities, policy and implementation changes at government level, and changes in NHS practices, across the four nations of the UK.

About this role 

AMR is a global problem which many believe is bigger than climate change in terms of both potential impact (the end of modern medicine as we know it) and urgency. While many of the solutions are long-term in nature, in the UK we can address many issues right now which will reduce the harm from AMR, meaning that less people die and many more people will avoid reduced quality of life. 

In 2025 Antibiotic Research UK changed its name to AMR Action UK, with an ambitious strategy to address the harm from AMR across all four nations of the UK. This post plays a vital role in a passionate and driven team generating sustainable fundraising income and building the foundations for AMR Action UK’s vision and long-term impact. 

Purpose of the role 

To shape and deliver a balanced, strategic and proactive programme of trusts and foundations fundraising, achieving immediate targets whilst cultivating and developing partnerships for the future.
