Jobs in Blackheath

After over 22 years at the helm, our CEO is retiring, and we are looking for his replacement. We are seeking someone with vision, passion, and enthusiasm for delivering stellar wellbeing outcomes, especially for older people. The person will provide strategic leadership and inspire staff, trustees, funders, and other stakeholders to achieve our ambitious goals.

About Us

Claremont is a community passionate about the arts and personal and community development. We have been a nationally progressive pioneer in our approach to services and we were the UK’s first Wellbeing Centre, long before the term was ubiquitous. We want to continue our history of innovation, alongside our culture of learning, our basis in genuine human relationships and the conviction that everybody matters. Underlying all of our services, and a key aspect of our culture, is a psychotherapeutically-informed approach which emphasises real listening, self awareness, and an awareness of how we are being in relation to other people.

About the Role

As the Job Description indicates, the role, which reports to our Board of Trustees, covers a wide range of responsibilities, including:

· Vision Leadership

· Partnerships

· Fundraising

· Financial Planning and Management

· Team Management and Coaching

· Charity Governance

· Clinical and Safeguarding Governance

· Legal Issues

· ITC

The ideal candidate will have experience and competence in all or as many as possible of these areas, as well as having a certain “Claremontiness” – aspirational and personal qualities which embody a genuine relational approach to life.

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. Guided by an approach to solving inequity in stroke, the organisation is prioritising listening to, and learning from, lived experience across the charity.

The organisation is working to improve the representation of this lived experience at all levels within the Association and are eager to recruit applicants from a variety of communities and backgrounds. Particularly 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 the charity works.

A Disability Confident employer, the organisation is making great progress focusing on flexible working, reasonable adjustments and access to work. The charity has a variety of staff network groups and is committed to continuously improving its 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.
