About the role:

When a family member has a spinal cord injury, it can be difficult to acknowledge and accept that their injury will affect you too.

You might find it difficult to express and share how you have been affected by these events, especially to your loved one with the injury. Overwhelming feelings of guilt, helplessness, confusion and isolation are very common. 

Back Up’s Family Support team are there to help. Right from the point of injury, our Family Support Coordinators work together with the family and the injured person to create their own ‘Family Plan’ - making sure they have access to information and support throughout the rehabilitation journey.

As a Family Support Coordinator, you will build relationships with professionals to encourage referrals and manage a caseload. Whether it be meeting family members in a clinical setting, providing a listening ear from someone who ‘just gets it!’, or making referrals for ongoing support from a range of partners or statutory agencies – you will be passionate about being able to demonstrate the impact of what we do, and will see for yourself how Back Up quite literally transforms lives.

About us:

At Back Up, we have big ambitions. Over the next few years, we’re going to be transforming the lives of even more people affected by spinal cord injury.

Together we’ll be working hard to make sure everyone affected by spinal cord injury has access to the support they deserve; and we are the only spinal cord injury charity in the UK providing specific services to children and young people.

As well as this, Back Up has been voted one of the top ten charities to work for (Third Sector Best Charities 2020). The enthusiastic, inclusive and supportive spirit of our very skilled staff ensure excellence in the services we deliver.

About the role:

Working as part of the services team, you’ll be a key player in how we develop and deliver our impactful courses.

All of our courses aim to increase confidence and independence in a supportive environment. They’re also led by people who have a spinal cord injury themselves – allowing participants to learn from others who have who have been there and can understand the issues and challenges. They quite literally transform lives.

With your organisational skills and desire to make a positive impact, you’ll play a vital role in helping us realise our vision of a world where people affected by spinal cord injury can reach their full potential.

Day-to-day, you’ll be working with volunteers, partners and participants to make sure our courses are a success. You’ll be responsible for the administration and logistics to make sure that courses are filled, delivered smoothly and efficiently to make sure our courses are a success and deliver the best possible experience to everyone involved.

You’ll be a confident communicator with excellent organisational skills and attention to detail. You’ll enjoy planning and seeing projects through to delivery, be that independently or as part of a wider team.
