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.

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!

Our advice team supports nearly 4,000 kinship carers each year with expert advice. We’re looking for an accomplished leader and manager to lead our growing advice and information team. As part of our new three-year strategy (2022–2025), we’re focusing on developing our high-quality, user-centred services to support more kinship carers when they need it most.

You’ll be an excellent manager, supporting your team to unlock their potential, develop new skills and pilot new channels of support and information (online chat, legal advice, and web content, among others).

As our Advice and Information Manager, you’ll work closely with your team to support this project, taking the lead on developing the advice and information pathway.

About Kinship

Kinship is the leading charity in England and Wales for kinship carers – relatives and friends who raise children when their parents aren’t able to. We offer kinship carers expert advice as well as financial, legal, practical and emotional support and understanding from the moment they need it, for as long as they need it. We’re always there to help with the complicated and stressful decisions that so many kinship families have to make, as well as to celebrate the good times.

Working alongside kinship carers and the children they raise, with their voices and views at the fore, we build communities of support and give everything we have to fight for each family and their rights, as well as to raise awareness of kinship care and secure better support for all those playing this critical role.

In return, we offer 30 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata if part-time) and a pension.
