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 an Impact and Evaluation Officer you can be the difference
between people just surviving and really living.
You will be part of Scotland’s leading health charity providing support to people with chest, heart and stroke
conditions and Long Covid to live life to the full again. Our Community Healthcare Support Service provides
access to a range of supported self management and community recovery services to support people across Scotland
to manage their health as well as possible and adjust to life after a diagnosis of a chest or heart condition or
after a stroke.
This is a key role in supporting the Service Delivery team to develop and maintain a high quality and effective
insights and evaluation process to support the roll out of the Community Healthcare Support Service Model.
The CHSS Community Healthcare Support service model is a quality supported self-management and community recovery
pathway informed by expertise and most importantly, by people with our conditions.
The model includes a range of interventions from clinical support services, structured and evidence based self
management workshops, 1:1 community support, health information and more, which are available to everyone with
our conditions. Each service is aligned with the principles of supported self management and aims to educate and
support individuals to manage their chronic disease.
This model will be evaluated robustly by CHSS within each NHS board in which we work, and we will seek to demonstrate
the positive impact that our service delivery can have on patient outcomes, experiences, and on the NHS &
social care sector.
They will be the main point of contact for service user evaluation by ensuring that everyone who accesses our
services has an opportunity to feedback on their outcomes and experiences in a way that is most accessible to
them.
CHSS employees enjoy a variety of organisational benefits including: Company pension scheme, generous holiday
allowance, company sick pay, employee welfare support and life assurance.
CHSS also supports flexible recruitment through Working Families and we are “Happy to Talk Flexible Working”.
