Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom Chest Heart And Stroke Scotland Full time

Salary: £23, 959 (32.5 hours FTE) 

Location: Home Based, with travel across Edinburgh and Lothians area 

Hours:  32.5 hours per week 

Department: Service Delivery

Vacancy Type: Permanent

Closing date: Monday 28th April

Every day people with chest, heart and stroke conditions are leaving hospital scared and alone. You can be part of our mission to make sure that there is no life half lived in Scotland. 

By joining Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland (CHSS) as a Supported Self Management Training Facilitator, you can be the difference between people just surviving and really living. 

You will be part of Scotland's leading charity providing support to people with chest, heart and stroke conditions to live life to the full again. Our Community Healthcare Support Services form a nationwide network of local services, including our Supported Self-Management programme, community support groups, nurses, volunteers and one-to-one support teams helping families adjust to life with a heart or lung condition or after a stroke. 

We are looking for a Supported Self Management Training Facilitator to join our amazing team in the Lothian area. This role is focused on making sure that people affected by chest, heart and stroke conditions have access to our evidence-based Chronic Disease Supported Self Management programme, enabling people with our conditions to live with, and beyond, their new reality. 

Through delivering our Supported Self Management programme, you will support people to develop the skills, knowledge and tools to confidently self manage their health condition and live as independently as possible. You'll also help people to get back to doing the things that are important to them – from simple things like walking to their local shop following a stroke, to returning to a sky-high hobby of gliding

You will co-facilitate the delivery of our 6-week Chronic Disease Self Management workshops with another trained facilitator and line manage any volunteers who support the delivery of these sessions. You will lead and motivate participants within a group setting to take control of their lives in a positive way, raising their confidence and empowering them to develop the skills to set and achieve goals, make strong and supportive connections with their workshop peers and make meaningful changes to their lifestyle to support their ongoing self management journey.

Candidates don't need to have medical knowledge, or previous experience as a Chronic Disease Supported Self Management Facilitator, as full training is provided. We are looking for someone with a positive attitude towards people with disabilities and long-term conditions and an understanding of the challenges faced by people with chest, heart and stroke conditions and Long Covid. You should have excellent communication and interpersonal skills and an ability to engage with others confidently and deliver key information, clearly.

At Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland, our mission is to ensure there's No Life Half Lived in Scotland – and you can be a vital part of that. We are Scotland's leading organisation for person-centred, user-led community support for people with our health conditions.

Applicants must have a car and a current valid driving licence (expenses are paid at mileage rate). 

CHSS also supports flexible recruitment through Working Families and we are "Happy to Talk Flexible Working".

In line with our commitment to safeguarding, this role is subject to a PVG check. CHSS is committed to equality of opportunity and to providing a service which is free from unfair and unlawful discrimination. We therefore aim to ensure that no applicant, volunteer or member of staff is unfairly treated on the grounds of offending background.
