About the Role
You will lead and motivate a small team of staff and volunteers and work with them to provide a person-centred, enabling, and outcome-focused support service to people over 18 with an acquired brain injury.
You will seek opportunities for planned development and growth and build on the success of our existing services to increase our offer.
You will act as principal spokesperson and advocate for the charity, demonstrating integrity and commitment to key stakeholders, partners, and donors to ensure the best outcomes for people affected by brain injury in the Gloucestershire area.
You will be joining at an exciting time as we work together with health and social care partners to monitor and understand the needs of people with brain injury in Gloucestershire and influence the pathway for rehabilitation and longer-term support.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
