We also empower teachers and counsellors to manage the progression process effectively.

We are growing rapidly in terms of the number of our customers, in terms of how much they use our platform, and in terms of the breadth of products we offer (check out this video to hear more about the Unifrog platform).
 

Our team is at the heart of our business and is integral to our success. We work hard to foster a culture of openness, happiness and innovation, and we commit to helping every individual learn and grow so that they can reach their full potential. We want to hire talented people, whatever their background. If you are excited by our mission and are ready to work hard, please don’t hesitate to apply. We look forward to hearing from you!

  • For example, implement a screen flow to simplify a sales process.

• Conduct thorough testing to ensure any Salesforce development works as expected.

• Stay informed about Salesforce updates, best practices, and industry trends to recommend enhancements and drive continuous improvement.

Your projects will see you work closely with individuals across the company in our sales, finance and data teams. You’ll work closely with our Junior Salesforce Business Analyst who supports the team with Jira requests and reporting.

You will work closely with your line manager, the Head of Data and Insights, to define strategy and priorities.

You may be required to work alongside external Salesforce consultants.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

• An ability to distil complex requests into practical solutions.

• Strong attention to detail, especially when writing documentation and updates to the broader team.

• Salesforce Administrator Certification is preferred but not essential.

Finding strength through support

When stroke strikes, part of your brain shuts down. And so does a part of you. That’s because a stroke happens in the brain, the control centre for who we are and what we can do. It happens every five minutes in the UK and changes lives instantly. Recovery is tough, but with the right specialist support and a ton of courage and determination, the brain can adapt. 

Everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke. And it’s a team effort to get there.

The charity provides specialist support, fund critical research and campaign to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support to rebuild their lives.

Join the only charity in the UK providing lifelong support for all stroke survivors and their families, providing 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.

The team are 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 this vital support can be provided. 

The Association is driven by ambition to improve the lives of everyone affected by stroke. This means they are determined to create an equitable and inclusive workplace that benefits from the difference, and thrives on the diversity, of its people.

About Trauma Treatment International

Trauma Treatment International (TTI) is a registered charity in the UK. Our focus and expertise is in providing evidence-based psychological treatment and support to survivors of collective violence*, internationally. We provide direct psychological assessment, formulations and treatment to survivors of torture, trafficking, slavery and war, and organisational support (organisational reviews, training, reflective practice and consultation) to human rights organisations that share our aims (of reducing collective violence and/ or support people affected by collective violence) to mitigate the impact of trauma exposure on the workforce, and assist in sustaining the important work they undertake. 

TTI was founded in 2017 and has grown significantly in the last few years. With an increase in people affected by torture, trafficking and slavery, persecution, war and other forms of collective violence, efficient, evidence-based and effective trauma-informed responses are critical in mitigating the cycle of violence and contributing to more peaceful societies. TTI is borderless, working remotely to ensure that we can meet need, wherever it is in the world. 

*‘Collective violence’ is defined as "the instrumental use of violence by people who identify themselves as members of a group--whether this group is transitory or has a more permanent identity--against another group or set of individuals, in order to achieve political, economic, or social objectives” (Garfield, Llanten Morales, & Dresden, 2003, p.144).

We are calling for Specialist Associates to join our highly experienced team to increase our multidisciplinary expertise, and to meet the holistic needs of our clients, to ensure that they receive the very best clinical service.

Specialist Associates could be asked:

● for their professional advice by our internal clinical leadership team and/ or to join formulation meetings in particularly complex cases

● to join psychological sessions to offer a broader MDT perspective in complex cases

● to assist in TTI’s wider work (depending on individual associates interests, skills, availability and capacity)

In particular, we are looking for experienced:

● Social workers (who have worked in mental health services)

● Speech and language therapists

● Psychiatrists

● Occupational therapists (who have worked in mental health services)

● Clinical psychologists (trained in evidence-based trauma treatments with experience of treating PTSD/ C-PTSD and/ or undertaking adult neurodevelopmental assessments)

● Trainers (mental health professionals with experience of delivering training)

● Doctors

● Nurses

● Neurologists 

● Physiotherapists

● Researchers

How much time will I need to give?

We like to develop sustainable relationships with consistent, skilled and reliable associates who we know well. As a small charity, our need for input from our associates will change dynamically based on funding and projects we are undertaking. This means that whilst at times we might have a low need for input from you, at other times we might request more.

We understand that our Specialist Associates will likely have other work and life-demands that mean that what they can offer may also change over time. We make sure that we have regular contact so that our Clinical Lead understands what your time commitment is and can maximise your skills, interests and availability (whether this is a few hours a year, a month or a week) to match our needs as an organisation.

TTI provides the opportunity for connection time, peer supervision and in-house training, which Specialist Associates are welcome to attend in their own time and at no cost to TTI. These sessions are not mandatory but provide a good opportunity to build skills, share learning and engage in the wider organisation as a team as we grow and develop.
 

What we can offer you:

Becoming an associate at TTI is a highly rewarding role and in addition to financial renumeration provides the opportunity to:

· work alongside other skilled MDT professionals, highly motivated to provide evidence based and excellent care to people exposed to collective violence, use your specialist skills to help people reduce the distress they are in and improve their quality of life in ways they ask for, following experiencing collective violence and join our research advisory group, clinical advisory group and project advisory group (if appropriate). 

· be part of a growing organisation and committed team striving to embody trauma informed principles as we work together to achieve our mission of a world free from the trauma of collective violence.
