Everyday people with chest, heart and stroke conditions are leaving hospital scared and alone. You can be part of our
mission to make sure that there is no life half lived in Scotland.
By joining Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland (CHSS) as Partnership & Relationship Manager you can be the difference
between people just surviving and really living.
You will be part of Scotland’s leading health charity providing support to people with chest, heart and stroke
conditions and Long Covid to live life to the full again. Our Community Healthcare Support Service provides
access to a range of supported self management and community recovery services to support people across Scotland
to manage their health as well as possible and adjust to life after a diagnosis of a chest or heart condition or
after a stroke.
The purpose of this role is to support the Head of External Engagement, Peer and Participation, and colleagues across
the External Engagement and Service Development Directorate, in building a strong and wide-reaching network of
stakeholders. These relationships will help drive forward CHSS’s No Life Half Lived ambitions and highlight the
value of our community healthcare support model in achieving shared strategic and operational goals across
Scotland.
You’ll play a key role in promoting and championing CHSS’s approach, helping to strengthen our reputation, broaden
our reach, and demonstrate the impact of our work. This includes developing meaningful partnerships and engaging
with influential decision-makers across the third sector, NHS, Scottish Parliament, NHS Boards, Integrated Joint
Boards, and Health and Social Care Partnerships to increase our service user referrals.
A particular focus of the role will be on identifying and developing strategic and operational partnerships in
respiratory and cardiac health, increasing referrals and ensuring people living with these conditions receive
the support they need.
CHSS also supports flexible recruitment through Working Families and we are “Happy to Talk Flexible Working”.
In line with our commitment to safeguarding, this role is subject to a Basic Disclosure check. CHSS is committed to
equality of opportunity and to providing a service which is free from unfair and unlawful discrimination. We
therefore aim to ensure that no applicant, volunteer or colleague is unfairly treated on the grounds of
offending background.
