Employer Bio
Life for any of us can change in an instant. Experiencing a road traffic accident, a major stroke or being diagnosed with dementia can happen completely unexpectedly and can change our lives forever. There are hundreds of different neurological conditions including stroke, brain tumour, brain injury, Alzheimer’s disease and many rarer conditions. The Brain Charity offers emotional support, practical help and social activities to anyone with a neurological condition and to their family, friends and carers.
Job Summary
Through the receipt of funding from The Masonic Charitable Trust, the Brain Changer Arts Project utilises the skills of an artist/art therapist to work alongside an occupational therapist and a professional dance instructor to work alongside a physiotherapist to improve the lives of children and young people with neurological conditions.
The Brain Charity will deliver regular art/craft-based sessions and dance sessions in which the movement, routines and exercises are based on wide-ranging occupational therapy and physiotherapy techniques designed specifically to improve mobility, hand and arm skills and confidence in the children and young people taking part. These classes will be delivered in two separate workshops with one of the workshops delivering occupational therapy through art and the other delivering physiotherapy through dance. The sessions usually run for 12-week blocks in schools, children’s centres and other medical and community settings across the city.
