About the role:
Back Up is the only charity in the UK that has dedicated services for children and young people with a spinal cord injury.
When a child or young person sustains a spinal cord injury it is a life changing experience. Lots of things that seemed certain for their future, suddenly seem to be thrown into doubt.
Building confidence and independence after spinal cord injury is so important to a child or young person's adjustment and wellbeing. Knowing what support and information is available, how to access it, and finding answers to questions are vital in helping to ensure that all children and young people have the tools to live the life they want after spinal cord injury.
Back Up does this by offering information, advice and guidance, fun courses, support in returning to education, mentoring, and opportunities for young people to come together and share their experiences through our Youth Advisory Group.
This is an exciting opportunity to lead and develop this groundbreaking service into the future. As someone with lived experience of spinal cord injury, you'll be naturally passionate about empowering children and young people to use their voice to get the support they need.
About us:
At Back Up, we have big ambitions. Over the next few years, we're going to be transforming the lives of even more people affected by spinal cord injury.
Together we'll be working hard to make sure everyone affected by spinal cord injury has access to the support they deserve; and we are the only spinal cord injury charity in the UK providing dedicated services to children and young people.
At Back Up, inclusion is at the heart of everything we do. Please read our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy Statement. We are committed to creating an inclusive working environment where all our employees are encouraged to reach their full potential, and individual differences are valued and respected. We particularly welcome applications from those from black, Asian or ethnic minority backgrounds or those with higher level spinal injuries.
In 2024 Back Up won The Times and The Sunday Times Spotlight Award for Best place to work for disabled employees. As well as this, Back Up has been voted one of the top ten charities to work for (Third Sector Best Charities The enthusiastic, inclusive and supportive spirit of our very skilled staff ensure excellence in the services we deliver.
