Stroke Association

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. 

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

We provide 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.

The Stroke Association is the only charity in the UK providing lifelong support for all stroke survivors and their families. 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.

We’re working to improve the diversity of our people. We know that individuality leads to a richer experience for our people and better support for all those affected by stroke. 

We strongly encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. We’re particularly looking to increase the number of applications from those with lived experience of stroke, and those from under-represented communities.

You may also have experience in areas such as Fundraising, Fundraiser, Supporter Engagement, Supporter Experience, Supporter Care, Customer Service, Customer Service Officer, Customer Service Agent, Helpline, Fundraising Experience Officer, Individual Giving Officer.

- Make our strategic evidence base everyone’s business – to our people and key players in the dementia system.
  - Inspire and motivate people towards shared objectives and goals, encouraging an environment where people can be themselves safely share their opinions and be able to listen and support others.

- Confident to hold others to account to ensure decisions and interpretation of dementia and the system are based on the highest quality of dementia evidence.
- Curious and constantly questioning the status quo.
- Flexible, creative, and committed to continuous improvement
