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.

About Soundabout:
Soundabout is a charity that uses music to empower and unlock the potential of people with profound and multiple learning disabilities. The charity leads the provision of training and delivery of music-centred approaches to working with people with severe, or profound and multiple learning difficulties. We work across the UK in a variety of settings such as special schools, early years’ environments and care services.
At Soundabout, we believe that everybody deserves to have a voice. Rather than focusing on what people can’t do, we want to emphasize what they can do. We believe that people with severe and profound learning difficulties including autism should have a life full of expression, passion, and enjoyment. To enable this to happen we aim to educate, support, and empower through both empowering training and supporting those in our community. That’s why we use music to enable people with learning difficulties to express themselves, connect with others, and feel the warmth of music.
We have a small core office team and a growing body of freelance practitioners who are the creative, delivery force of our work.
Diversity and equal opportunities
Soundabout is an equal opportunity and Living Wage employer. We are committed to attracting, recruiting and retaining diverse candidates, as it’s important that our team reflect the communities we serve at every level within the charity. We especially welcome applications from people from under-represented groups and are committed to making adjustments that would support you in applying for or carrying out the role. We are currently under-represented by disabled and neurodivergent people, people from under-represented minorities, and from the LGBTQ community.
The Role
The role of the Family Support Co-ordinator is to build the knowledge, skills and confidence of families with profoundly disabled children to interact musically with their child to benefit their development, personal and social interactions and build family resilience, enhancing wellbeing and reducing isolation for parents/carers.

The role is also the first point of contact for families when enquiring about Soundabout, sharing ideas for opportunities to engage with our services and offering additional support to our families as and when needed, trouble-shooting any access or other issues or concerns.
The post holder must be willing to lead on our Safeguarding agenda (either through pre-existing experience or by attending appropriate training).
The Candidate:
You will be a warm, flexible, and energetic team player with significant experience of working with families of profoundly disabled children and a commitment to reducing isolation for families and building support networks and connections. You may have an understanding of how music and sound can be used as a developmental tool and to build family cohesion and resilience. You are motivated by the opportunity to improve the lives of people with severe and profound learning disabilities and their families.
Key responsibilities:
-
To be the primary point of support for all families with children who have profound and severe learning difficulties and are part of Soundabout’s community; whether attending music-making sessions, participating in 1:1 support sessions with our music practitioners or as part of Soundabout’s Inclusive Choir and associated groups.

To induct new families into the organisation, exploring with them the opportunities available and best suited to each child and family’s needs. Introduce families to our evaluative processes to be undertaken by Soundabout practitioners and track progress, providing bi-annual updates to families via progress reports. Signpost families to other opportunities and forms of support as appropriate.
-
To maintain regular contact with the families through ‘light touch’ support via telephone, email and zoom, as and when appropriate, and undertake annual re-assessments.
