Sheffield, United Kingdom Stroke Association Full time

We have secured funding for a year to expand the Sheffield Service as part of an exciting new project aimed at supporting more newly diagnosed stroke survivors and their families. This is an exciting opportunity that will be delivered with our NHS colleagues in Sheffield. Reaching and adding value to the lives of every newly diagnosed stroke survivor is one of our organisation’s priorities over the next three years, as we believe, for most people, this is the time at which we can add the most value to their lives. In this role, you will be part of this exciting pilot to drive this forward.

The service aims to identify and address the needs of stroke survivors and carers across the stroke pathway by providing a range of innovative support solutions, supporting them to meet their desired outcomes. A key part of the role will be to offer support to stroke survivors and their families, plan and deliver stroke support group sessions, and ensure the smooth running of the service.

Reporting to the Service Delivery Coach, the Stroke Support Coordinator’s key responsibilities will include:

- Working with stroke survivors and carers to identify their needs, providing person-centred support which enables them to achieve their desired outcomes.
- Delivering an effective service in line with our case management principles, ensuring that confidential and accurate records are kept on our CRM database.
- Supporting clients to make informed lifestyle changes that will help them to prevent further strokes.
- Working collaboratively with other professionals and organisations involved in the care of stroke survivors and carers to ensure the best possible support is provided throughout the stroke pathway.
- Planning and facilitating stroke support group sessions to increase participants’ understanding of stroke and how to manage and support their recovery.

You will have:

- Experience of providing person-centred support.
- Experience of working with people with a disability or long-term health condition, and their carers.
- Experience of using technology and IT systems to support your work and keep timely, accurate records.
- Effective listening skills with the ability to communicate clearly with a wide range of people.
- Experience of working with health and social care professionals in a variety of settings.

**This is a fixed-term position for 12 months.**

**Our services are contracted; we currently have funding for this contract until March 2024.**

**About us**:
**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.

Every five minutes, stroke destroys lives. Help us rebuild them and join our team.

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
