Head of Professional Education, The Stroke Association

We are looking for an experienced senior manager with a sound background in training or continued learning within the healthcare sector to head up our expanding programme of high-quality stroke training and conferences for healthcare professionals. You will take charge of a dedicated team that organises and delivers our training and conference packages – including the UK Stroke Forum, the largest multidisciplinary stroke conference in the UK. You will also create a business plan that develops our professional education activities and make sure it is integrated into our corporate strategy. That means good business acumen is as vital as a strong training background within the healthcare sector. Indeed, your understanding of accredited training schemes will be backed by sound business and strategic planning experience. Add the ability to bring out the best in a team, plus ideally knowledge of stroke, and you could soon be helping us improve hundreds of thousands of lives. Initially the post is offered on a one-year contract subject to review and available funding.
