Finding strength through support

We provide tailored support to tens of thousands of stroke survivors each year. This support includes one-to-one and group support, funding vital scientific research into stroke prevention, acute treatment, recovery and long-term care, and campaigning to secure the best care for everyone affected by stroke.

We’re here for stroke survivors and their loved ones, from the moment they enter the new and frightening post-stroke world, supporting them every step of the way as they find their strength and their way back to life.

It’s only thanks to the generosity of our supporters and donors that we can provide vital support.

Stroke Association is driven by our ambition to improve the lives of everyone affected by stroke.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Lead the Stroke Association’s strategic direction and impact in Scotland, ensuring people affected by stroke receive high quality support.

• Build and manage relationships with key health, social care and political stakeholders, acting as a credible and respected systems leader.

• Adapt organisational priorities for Scotland and ensure effective delivery through strong planning and performance oversight.

• Lead and develop the Scotland team, addressing capacity needs and building volunteer capability to meet local priorities.

• Strengthen partnerships across the stroke community to improve access to support and tackle health inequalities.
