About Us
About the Stroke Association
Finding strength through support
The Stroke Association is the only charity in the UK providing lifelong support for all stroke survivors and their families. We provide tailored support to tens of thousands of stroke survivors each year. This support includes one-to-one and group support, funding vital scientific research into stroke prevention, acute treatment, recovery and long-term care, and campaigning to secure the best care for everyone affected by stroke.
We’re here for stroke survivors and their loved ones, from the moment they enter the new and frightening post-stroke world, supporting them every step of the way as they find their strength and their way back to life.
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.
We are a Disability Confident employer, and we are making great progress focusing on flexible working, reasonable adjustments and access to 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.

About Us
Health in the Margins C.I.C. is a newly established UK Community Interest Company. We centre the voices, values and healing traditions of frontline communities- those most affected by health inequalities.
We do this through:
- community-led research & education
- co-designed health programmes and evaluation
- policy and advocacy work
Founded in September 2025, we are in our first year. We are currently building partnerships and securing funding, with plans to increase programme delivery in 2026.
Our Mission: Striving towards epistemic justice, our mission is to centre the voices, values and healing traditions of frontline communities towards the goal of advancing health equity.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a new non-executive director to join our board and help guide the organisation as we grow.
As a small, founder-led organisation, we need someone who can offer strategic thinking, support strong and ethical governance, and help us build a sustainable foundation while staying true to our values and accountable to community.
This is an opportunity to shape an organisation from an early stage and contribute to work focused on health justice. We are looking for someone who is not only skilled, but also personally committed to this work and willing to engage thoughtfully with the communities we come from and work with.
Who we are looking for
We are interested in someone who is passionate about tackling health inequity and motivated to contribute to grassroots, community-led work. We are recruiting 1 or 2 new directors. As we are newly established, experience in one or more of the following would be helpful:
- Strategic thinking aligned with our mission
- Governance (for example as a trustee or director of a charity or CIC) to help us with activities such as updating our bye-laws
- Fundraising (especially with trusts and foundations)
- Developing sustainable income or partnerships
- Finance, risk or organisational sustainability
- Supporting early-stage or growing organisations
We are committed to ensuring our board reflects the communities most affected by health inequalities. We strongly encourage applications from people with lived experience of these issues, including (but not limited to) those from Global Majority communities, disabled people, people with long-term health conditions, migrants, and LGBTQIA+ communities.
We value knowledge gained through community work, lived experience, and informal leadership.
We recognise that this experience often brings valuable insight into systems, access, and equity that is not always captured through formal professional routes.
We are also keen to hear from people who may not have extensive formal board experience, but who have:
- Held responsibility in community, voluntary or informal leadership roles
- Worked closely with marginalised communities
- Contributed to decision-making in grassroots or movement spaces
What matters most to us is not a specific career path, but the ability to engage seriously with governance, bring thoughtful perspective, and contribute to an organisation that is still being shaped.
What You Will Do
You will be part of a small grassroots team that is committed to closing the health gaps in our communities. In this role, you will:
- Provide strategic guidance and oversight
- Help ensure strong governance and accountability
- Support our fundraising approach and sustainability
- Contribute to risk management and sustainability planning
- Act as an ambassador for the organisation
- Attend quarterly board meetings (online)
Time commitment: Approximately 4–6 hours per month.
This is a voluntary (unpaid) role.
What You Will Gain
- The chance to shape a new organisation from the ground up
- The chance to contribute to transformative work in global health equity
- The opportunity to support meaningful, community-led work on health
Person Specification
We are looking for someone who:
- Understands governance responsibilities
- Can offer constructive challenge and independent thinking
- Shares our commitment to equity and community leadership
- Works collaboratively and respectfully
- Can commit reliably to board activities
We are particularly keen to strengthen the independence of our board and welcome applicants who are not connected personally or professionally to the current directors.
How to Apply
Please send:
- A short statement (maximum 1 page or up to 5 minutes audio/video) outlining:
- Your governance experience
- Why you’re interested in Health in the Margins
- What you would bring to the role
- A CV or a short summary of your relevant experience (this can include unpaid or community-based work)
Deadline: Monday 18 May 2026 (end of day)
We will invite shortlisted candidates to an informal online conversation.
If you would like to discuss the role before applying or need a different format to apply, please contact us.
We will review applications on a rolling basis and may close early if we find a suitable candidate.
