Social Connector

**About The Brain Charity**

Life for any of us can change in an instant. Experiencing a road traffic accident, a major stroke or being diagnosed with dementia can happen completely unexpectedly and can change our lives forever.

There are hundreds of different neurological conditions including stroke, brain tumour, brain injury, Alzheimer’s disease and many rarer ones too.

The Brain Charity offers emotional support, practical help and social activities to anyone with a neurological condition and to their family, friends and carers.

**Role summary**

Social isolation and loneliness are key issues for our community. The Social Connector will play a vital role within our services team by organising a programme of activities, classes and events within our building and out in the wider community for our service users and volunteers. The role will also link in with the physical and wellbeing activities based in our new Neuro Gym and facilitates our volunteer-staffed befriending service.
