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!

Your experience of working in the mental health field or a similar environment has given you a good understanding of service user development. All you need is the perfect environment to put your skills to great use. Welcome to Richmond Fellowship as a Peer Support Coordinator.
Our crisis services in Lancashire offer a therapeutic space for people experiencing difficulties with their mental health. We have three crisis houses based in Central, East and West Lancashire and two outreach services based in East Lancashire and Lancaster. Right now, The Haven in Central Lancashire is looking for someone like you to join them.
With a wide range of skills and backgrounds, our teams take a creative approach to their work and are an integral part of the recovery journey of those who use our services. That’s where you come in.
Your challenge will be to work with the Team Leader, Peer Support Volunteers and clients to develop an efficient and effective Peer Support Service. That means recruiting and supporting a network of volunteers who have used mental health services to help others on their recovery journey. It also means helping to develop organisational policies, procedures, protocols and systems to underpin the provision of peer support across the business. Identifying and implementing training, promoting the service to stakeholders and operating a fully compliant service to agreed budgets – all are aspects of this challenging role.
To succeed, you’ll need a good understanding of the Recovery and Personalisation agenda and the principles and practice on which mental health services are run. Experience of recruiting and/or supervising volunteers would be useful too, although is not essential. You must, however, have a proven ability to consult, liaise and work collaboratively with a team of colleagues and a wide range of external organisations and a flexible approach to working hours.
