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.

INTRAC is looking for a dynamic individual with a passion for civil society to join as Director of Fundraising and Partnerships.

INTRAC is unashamedly for civil society. We are a mission-driven, not-for-profit organisation, focused on the core belief that vibrant, diverse and inclusive civil societies are essential catalysts for a world where everyone can thrive. We believe that locally available civil society support is essential as part of the wider movement to ‘shift the power’ to enable those tackling inequality and injustice to be resilient and effective, to navigate changes in their context and contribute to long-term inclusive locally led change.  This is an exciting time for the organisation as we move from envisioning our strategy to implementing it.  

Our strategic framework, Locally Rooted, Globally Connected will guide INTRAC’s practice over the next five years, as we evolve to becoming a network-led organisation, influenced and informed by the priorities, insights and aspirations of our network members, and the networks we interact with.  Together we will work to shift how civil society support is conceived and delivered: to transform civil society support eco-systems, so that local and global organisations are supported to develop, engage with others, and do what they want to do, better, to deliver just, equitable and sustainable societies.  

The role of strategic funding is crucial to this transformative change.  We are looking for an individual who is committed to anti-racist and feminist leadership to join our senior leadership team and help drive this change.

This is a part time role (0.6-0.8 FTE); initially offered as an eighteen month contract with the intention to extend should the role be successful.

We are a remote organisation, with staff working across the UK. As we become a global network we are looking at options as to how to expand our staff base in different geographies, as we believe this will benefit INTRAC and support our strategic direction.  However, we do not have a straightforward way to do this currently. Whilst we are open to considering applicants from all parts of the world we will not sponsor visa applications. If you are based outside the UK and are keen to consider one of our roles please email Jenny George to discuss details.

· the Results you achieved and

The Ripple Pond supports adult family members of physically and/or psychologically injured British Armed Forces personnel and veterans.

We value your individuality, skills, professionalism, and passion for making a difference in this role.

We don’t measure candidates by age, gender, background, accent, community, sexual orientation, or heritage.

We understand that few people will arrive fully equipped to meet every requirement of this role on day one.

What matters is that you are an excellent communicator- someone who listens well, manages time effectively, and demonstrates resilience.

You must be comfortable discussing challenging topics, this includes facilitating conversations around issues like addiction, mental health, suicide, menopause, domestic abuse and the complexities of family life.

Please note: The Ripple Pond is more than a charity - it’s a dynamic, supportive community that transforms lives. We thrive on care and exceptional communication, and we need someone who shares these values.

Key Responsibilities:

• Onboarding new Members (service users), understanding their needs, and providing tailored support.
• Delivering services primarily online/remotely, with occasional travel for networking, building partnerships, and attending events or meetings.

What We Offer:

As an organisation committed to accessibility, inclusion, and social mobility, we’ll support your well-being and professional development throughout your employment.

However, this role is intensive. Success requires inner strength, adaptability, and mental resilience.

Encouragement to Apply:

We view applicants as well-rounded individuals. If this role resonates with you but you’re concerned about gaps in your CV, qualifications, or experience, we encourage you to apply. We care about your potential as much as your background.

NOTE: Please ensure your covering letter explains how you meet the roles requirements as outlined in the Job Description and Person Specification Document (Attached)
