 About Headway – the brain injury association

Every 90 seconds, a person is admitted to hospital in the UK with a serious brain injury. It can affect anyone at any time. When it does Headway is here to help.

Headway is the UK-wide leading charity working to improve life after brain injury. We are passionate about helping people to rebuild their lives, relearn lost skills and regain independence.

We know that with the right help, at the right time, there can be life after brain injury. In addition to providing direct services to those affected by a brain injury and campaigning to raise awareness of this often-hidden disability, Headway UK supports a network of 119 local organisations who support people with brain injuries, their families and carers, within their local communities.

The services provided by each one of these independently run Headway groups and branches vary depending on local needs. They each provide a lifeline to brain injury survivors, carers and family members they support.

Safeguarding

 At Headway we are committed to the safeguarding and welfare of vulnerable adults. We expect all our staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We follow best practice as set out within the Care Act 2014. All successful applicants will be subject to safer recruiting procedures and will be required to complete mandatory pre-employment checks including a DBS check and two satisfactory references.

For us diversity and inclusion is about building happy teams, full of people that want to learn and be inspired by each other, by our different experiences and backgrounds. Inclusion means providing the people we recruit with opportunities and valuing everyone’s contributions and perspectives.

We are also committed to removing barriers for applicants with a disability during our recruitment process, upon appointment and as an employee.
