Amazing recognition for our work over the past 12 months in response to the pandemic and beyond. These awards are some of the most important ways the third sector publicly recognises excellence and achievement, and so to win these are true testaments to the hard work, passion and commitment of our staff and supporters.

You will be able to work collaboratively across the organisation, mapping and managing the organisation wide project interdependencies that will be critical to the success of thematic working, within services and Family Action organisationally.

Your role would be varied, exciting and incredibly worthwhile. At its heart is a striving for excellence, maximising outcomes and the need to ensure that children and adults get the right support, of the highest quality at the right time. If you are you looking for a diverse, ambitious and fast paced organisation, you have found it.

We are looking for an autodidactic self-starter, who can draw learning from a range of sources, contextually analyse the evidence, recognise the generalisable from the one offs, and piece it all together with strategic finesse. We need someone with substantial experience of frontline and management practice working in services for people. Alongside this, you must have extensive experience of  supporting organisational development and staff development including evidence informed practice as a means of continuous learning and improvement. You would need to be resilient and tenacious; and bring an understanding of the challenges faced by staff and managers, learnt through your direct experience.

We are committed to Equality, Diversity & Inclusion in all that we do and welcome applications from all sections of the community. We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, LGBTQIA+ candidates and candidates with disabilities because we are committed to increasing the representation of these groups at Family Action.

We offer a guaranteed interview scheme for disabled applicants and will reimburse your travel cost if you attend an interview.

About the Organisation

Stroke Association. Rebuilding lives after stroke.

When stroke strikes, part of your brain shuts down. And so does a part of you. That’s because a stroke happens in the brain, the control centre for who we are and what we can do. It happens every five minutes in the UK and changes lives instantly. Recovery is tough, but with the right specialist support and a ton of courage and determination, the brain can adapt.

We believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke. And it’s a team effort to get there.

We provide specialist support, fund critical research and campaign to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support to rebuild their lives.

We’re working to improve the diversity of our team.  Because we know that individuality leads to a richer experience for our people and better support for those affected by stroke.

We strongly encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. And we’re particularly looking to increase the number of applications from those with lived experience of stroke and those from under-represented communities. 

Every five minutes, stroke destroys lives. Help us rebuild them and join our team.

In 2019, we developed a bold new corporate strategy so that we can rebuild more lives after stroke and make a bigger difference to people’s lives. To help us deliver our strategy and make a real difference, we are looking to recruit talented people to a number of new roles. If you would like to support stroke survivors to rebuild their lives, we want to hear from you!
