It’s only thanks to the generosity of our supporters and donors that we can provide vital support. 

Stroke Association is driven by our ambition to improve the lives of everyone affected by stroke. This means we’re determined to create an equitable and inclusive workplace that benefits from the difference, and thrives on the diversity, of our people. Guided by Our approach to solving inequity in stroke, we are prioritising listening to, and learning from, lived experience across our charity.

We are working to improve the representation of this lived experience at all levels within the Stroke Association and we are eager to recruit applicants from a variety of communities and backgrounds. We are keen to receive applications from people affected by stroke, people of colour, members of LGBT+ communities, and disabled people because these identities and experiences are underrepresented and would add enormous value to how we work.

Our charity has a variety of staff network groups and we're committed to continuously improving our diversity and inclusion efforts. If you have questions, or access needs, we’re happy to discuss any support and adjustments we can make throughout the recruitment process so that you’re able to contribute your best in a way that meets your needs.

Help keep RideWise moving - coordinating the people, systems and services that make greener, more inclusive travel possible. This is a varied, home based role with flexible time for someone who loves organising people, solving problems and making sure community services run brilliantly.

RideWise is an East Midlands based charity helping people and communities travel more actively, sustainably and confidently. Through cycle training, led rides, community projects and practical support, we make cycling, walking and greener transport more accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds.

We are looking for a highly organised and proactive Operations and Resource Manager to play a key role in the smooth running of our cycle training and sustainable travel services. This is a hands-on coordination role at the heart of our charity, supporting our freelance instructor team, operational systems, project delivery and client relationships.

You will help make sure instructors have the information, resources and support they need, that records and compliance documents are accurate and up to date, and that our services continue to be delivered safely, professionally and effectively. You will work closely with our Project Managers and wider team, helping to keep communication flowing and knowledge shared across the organisation.

This role would suit someone who enjoys bringing order to busy environments, is confident juggling priorities, and takes pride in making systems work well. You might come from an operations, administration, project coordination, training, community delivery or service support background. Experience in cycling, active travel, charities or community programmes would be helpful, but your organisation, communication skills and practical approach are most important.

The role is home-based, with very occasional travel to Nottingham (around once a year). You will be part of a friendly, purpose-driven team, with the opportunity to learn more about cycle training, Bikeability and sustainable travel delivery. There may also be opportunities to support or take part in cycle instruction, depending on your experience and interests.

We are looking for someone who is dependable, detail-focused and calm under pressure; someone who can work independently while staying connected to a small team. You will be helping RideWise grow its impact, support instructors well, and deliver high-quality services that make a real difference in communities.

If you are motivated by practical action, community impact and greener transport, we would love to hear from you.
