At Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland, we believe lived experience is expertise.
We are on an ambitious journey to make lived experience a golden thread running through everything we do. Not as a one-off consultation. But as a meaningful partnership where people living with chest, heart, stroke and Long Covid conditions help shape decisions, influence priorities and improve services.
That's why we're looking for a passionate and skilled Lived Experience Coordinator to help us build and deliver an exciting new programme of involvement and co-production across the organisation.
If you have experience of co-production, participation, and/or community involvement, and believe in the power of people's experiences to create better services and stronger organisations, we'd love to hear from you.
Why this role matters
Every day, people across Scotland are adapting to life with a chest, heart, stroke or Long Covid condition. Their experiences hold powerful insights about what works, what doesn't, and what needs to change.
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.

Who We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who combines strong engagement skills with a genuine belief in the value of lived experience.
Why join us?
This is a rare opportunity to help shape a developing organisational strategy from the ground up. You'll join a supportive and ambitious team with a clear vision: to ensure people with lived experience are not simply consulted, but are genuine partners in shaping the future of CHSS.
You'll Have The Opportunity To
- Influence organisational culture and practice.
- Develop innovative approaches to co-production.
- Build partnerships and networks across Scotland.
