About the Role: We are looking for someone who is passionate about empowering and involving people in decisions made about their lives to join our team. You will work resourcefully and collaboratively with the individuals you support ensuring that they are able to fully participate in decisions affecting their lives.
The post holder will provide independent advocacy in a range of settings, from hospitals, including secure mental health units, residential homes, and in the community.
You will be responsible for ensuring individual’s wishes, feelings, beliefs, needs, and values are met to create positive outcomes for the people you support. You’ll promote self-advocacy and empowerment at every opportunity whilst raising awareness of advocacy and referral pathways to those who are eligible and the wider community.

About the role:
We understand that a spinal cord injury can be devastating, but we believe it shouldn’t prevent anyone from getting the most out of life. And we’re here to help make sure that can happen. We provide a range of services for people affected by spinal cord injury, and this provides us with a unique insight into the issues they face in their day-to-day lives.
The role of Head of Data and Systems is a new one and reflects the growth and diversification of how we reach our audience and offer them support. We want to reach everyone affected by spinal cord injury across the UK.
To do that, we are embarking on a significant change programme to become a ‘data enabled organisation’, which will ultimately involve replacing the systems we currently use.
As our Head of Data and Systems, you will design and lead this exciting phase in our development. Reporting to the Data Protection Officer and working with the Data and Systems Manager, you will work across the whole organisation.
You will take responsibility for the programme at every stage, using your technical skills equally with your ability to support and influence others to bring about organisation-wide change.
Above all, you will be passionate about being able to demonstrate the impact of what we do, and you will see for yourself how Back Up quite literally transforms lives every day.
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.
At Back Up, inclusion is at the heart of everything we do. Please read our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy Statement. We are committed to creating an inclusive working environment where all our employees are encouraged to reach their full potential, and individual differences are valued and respected. We particularly welcome applications from those from black, Asian or ethnic minority backgrounds or those with higher level spinal injuries.
In 2024 Back Up won The Times and The Sunday Times Spotlight Award for Best place to work for disabled employees. 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.
At Back Up, we inspire people affected by spinal cord injury to get the most out of life.
