1 Job description Job title: Salary: Grade: Drupal Developer 35, to 42, per annum F Hours per week: 35 Location: Accountable to: Accountable for: Stroke Association House, London EC1V Head of Digital Junior Drupal Developer (currently vacant) Our vision We want a world where there are fewer strokes and all those touched by stroke get the help they need. Introduction The Stroke Association is the leading UK stroke charity. We have been leading the fight against stroke for over 20 years. We influence and campaign to improve stroke care and support people to make the best possible recovery. We fund world-class research to develop new treatments and ways to prevent the devastation of stroke. Breakthroughs in treatment have halved the number of people dying from stroke in the UK but it is still the second biggest killer in the world. That is why we are involved in projects across the globe. Stroke is one of the greatest health challenges of our time with approximately one stroke happening every three and a half minutes in the UK. One in four strokes is fatal within the first year and it is the most common cause of complex adult disability. Over a third of the UK s 1.2 million stroke survivors are left dependent on others for everyday activities. The incidence of stroke is rising significantly among people of working age, and also affects more than 400 children each year. To realise a world where there are fewer strokes and all those touched by stroke get the help they need, we work with integrity, demonstrating our values as one combined passionate, innovative, respectful and professional team within the Stroke Association. Together we can conquer stroke. 1
