Stroke Association is driven by our ambition to improve the lives of everyone affected by stroke. This means we'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. 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. 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're happy to discuss any support and adjustments we can make throughout the recruitment process so that you're able to contribute your best in a way that meets your needs. We're interested in your experience, the judgement you've exercised and what you've learned, rather than perfect success stories. If you decide to use AI to prepare your application, we'll also ask you to explain how you've used it to support you.

To fulfil the role, you must be resident in the UK and have the right to work in the UK. If you are applying under the Disability Confident scheme, please indicate this in your supporting statement when applying for the role. No agencies please.
