When stroke strikes, part of your brain shuts down. And so does a part of you. That&rsquo;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.</p><p>
We believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke. And it&rsquo;s a team effort to get there.</p><p>
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.</p><p>
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.</p><p>
We&rsquo;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.</p><p>
It&rsquo;s only thanks to the generosity of our supporters and donors that we can provide vital support.</p><p>
Stroke Association is driven by our ambition to improve the lives of everyone affected by stroke. This means we&rsquo;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.</p><p>
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.</p><p>
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&rsquo;re happy to discuss any support and adjustments we can make throughout the recruitment process so that you&rsquo;re able to contribute your best in a way that meets your needs.</p><p><br>
