Job Details

About the Brain & Spine Foundation:
Our mission is to improve the quality of life of people affected by neurological problems by providing expert information, support and education. 12 million people in the UK are currently living with one of over 350 neurological conditions including common conditions such as dementia and stroke, and others that are less well known such as subarachnoid haemorrhage and Chiari Malformation. The Brain & Spine Foundation is the only UK wide charity providing support and information to people with all these conditions.

Overseeing all the services the charity provides for people affected by neurological problems and health professionals, this role is vital to the organisation’s success.


Job overview:
The Brain and Spine Foundation’s (BSF) strategic goals are: to provide quality information and support for people affected by neurological conditions, to improve understanding and awareness; to raise the profile of BSF services to enable more people to access support; and to secure the income needed to sustainably fund the charity’s work. We have a well established nurse-led helpline which has a good reputation and supports over 3000 people every year through answering calls and emails about the full spectrum of brain and spine conditions.

The primary role of the Head of Services is to bring strategic oversight to maintaining and developing our work to support patients, carers and health professionals through the helpline service, information resources, programme of conferences and online support groups. As demand grows we are increasing the number of people supported. This is a key aim and focus for the coming period of work. In addition, the post holder will work with the wider information service team to develop the Foundation’s information provision. They will work with the Senior Helpline & Information Officer to monitor the work of the service, gain feedback from users and to respond to their needs.

We have ambitious aims to grow our support and information provision to reach many more people affected by neurological problems and you will be involved in developing and implementing these plans with the team. The Head of Services will be a member of the senior management team and will attend Board meetings and support the CEO where required.
