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!
You may also have experience in areas such as Counsellor, Counselling, Psychotherapy, BAC, Stroke Support, Stroke Counsellor, Medical Counsellor, Physical Counsellor, Disability Counsellor, Care, Care and Support, Social Care, Stroke Care, Emotional Support, Aftercare, Rehabilitation.

Are you an empathic individual, who can listen to people’s concerns and help to provide support?
Are you respectful, mindful and trustful?
Are you ready to make a difference?
It takes a special kind of person to be a Wellbeing Navigator with our client; someone who has patience and an empathic nature, who is reliable and dedicated and above all, has a desire to help others.
Over the past couple of years, we have all started to understand mental health and, as an organisation, are proud of the essential work that they do and appreciate the extra mile that their staff go to.
As one of their valuable Bullring Wellbeing Hub Navigators, you will be on-hand to provide advice and signposting and offer an important listening service to those in need. You’ll create and deliver a variety of informative and enjoyable sessions and events that support wellbeing and encourage people to join relevant groups. You’ll love meeting new people, providing a welcoming atmosphere for those who attend the Hub and will be able to identify if there are events / groups that would be beneficial to support visitors. You’ll be part of a small, friendly team who ensure the public have access to vital information and that it reaches the most vulnerable people, many who wouldn’t usually reach out for support or help for mental health support. They’re looking for a communicative and confident individual, who feels at ease liaising with external community partnerships.
With experience of working in the mental health field, you’ll know how to help people be in control of their lives and will treat everyone with dignity and respect.

With patience and compassion, you’ll be making a difference in people’s lives; it’s not everyone that can say their work has a positive impact on individuals and the community. This is a rewarding opportunity with a great team, and we can’t wait to see you succeed and help others to grow!
