Bipolar UK are seeking a brilliant trainer to enable us to turn knowledge into Impact.
About Bipolar UK
Bipolar UK is the only national charity dedicated to supporting people affected by bipolar — including individuals, carers, families and loved ones. Over one million people in the UK live with bipolar disorder, yet many experience symptoms for years before receiving an accurate diagnosis.
We are entering an exciting new phase following the launch of our co‑produced three‑year strategy (2026–2029). Over the coming years, we will reach more people than ever before, expand access to self‑management support, and build understanding of bipolar across workplaces, services and communities.
At the heart of our work is the belief that people affected by bipolar are the experts in their own lives. We are committed to equity, diversity and inclusion, and to ensuring our services are accessible, culturally responsive and shaped by lived experience.
Purpose of the Role
Our Trainer plays a vital role in helping people understand bipolar, reduce stigma, and build confidence to live well.
You will deliver:
You will also contribute to the ongoing development of training and psychoeducation, supporting our ambition to grow accredited and evidence‑informed learning programmes.
Training audiences are diverse and include individuals with lived experience, employees and managers, housing providers, community organisations, and statutory or criminal justice settings.
Through confident, compassionate and trauma‑informed facilitation, you will help create safe learning spaces, challenge stereotypes, and support greater engagement with Bipolar UK — particularly among communities who may not traditionally access mental health support.
Why join us?
This is a chance to shape how bipolar is understood across workplaces, communities and services — helping people move from diagnosis to confidence, and from stigma to understanding.

About the role
Our exciting three year strategy sets out our ambitious goals to drive impact at scale for victim-survivors. We are now looking for an exceptional candidate to lead some of our financial services relationships and consultancy work and support SEA in its mission to raise awareness of economic abuse and transform responses to it within the financial services sector.
Working closely with colleagues across SEA, you will foster and maintain relationships across the financial services sector, seeking opportunities to generate income for the charity and supporting our Head of Financial Services to deliver lasting change and impact.
Together we can transform frontline financial services, in practice, product and process, and save lives.
About you
At SEA we put the lived experience of victim-survivors at the heart of all that we do, including our work with financial services firms. You will be a subject matter expert on customer vulnerability and financial services firms’ regulatory requirements, as well as having a thorough understanding of industry rules and good practice. You will combine this with experience of working with vulnerable customers, including victim-survivors and bring expertise on economic abuse to ensure this is embedded within financial services’ firms’ responses.
About SEA
We are the only UK charity dedicated to raising awareness of economic abuse and transforming responses to it. We work to save lives and stop economic abuse forever.
Our vision is a world in which all women and girls achieve economic equality and can live their lives free of abuse and exploitation. Not only surviving but thriving.
Our mission is to raise awareness of economic abuse and transform responses to it.
To achieve this, we must ensure that the policies and practices of financial services firms, domestic abuse support services, public services and government reflect the needs of all victim-survivors of economic abuse.
We are committed to centring victim-survivors in all that we do and broadening our understanding of the needs of survivors, particularly those who are marginalised within society. We work alongside the Experts by Experience - a group of victim-survivors whose voices and experiences shape our work.
Our primary focus is on influencing the women’s, public and financial services sectors, to create a model for improved support for victim-survivors of economic abuse, calling on government to facilitate these changes and work with them to improve their systems and practice.
