An Unpaid Carer is someone who provides unpaid support to family, friends or a neighbour in your community who could not manage without this help. This could be caring for a relative, partner or friend who is ill, frail, disabled, has mental health needs or substance misuse.

The Unpaid Carer Advisor will provide a service of information, advice, guidance & support, including emotional support for adult carers 18+ in the Hambleton and Richmondshire area.

The successful candidate will follow an unpaid carers journey from assessment to action planning and evaluation of their support. Raising awareness of unpaid caring and its impact, is an important element of the role, so the candidate should be able to deliver talks and training to carers and professionals to raise awareness within the community.

They will be proactive in their approach to support the development of the service, therefore enthusiastic and forward thinking with ideas to reach more carers within the local communities.

If this sounds like the role for you, we offer in return an attractive annual leave package of 25 days plus bank holidays (with service length increases up to 30 days plus bank holidays). We also offer a healthcare cover plan for free dental and optical care plus a range of other benefits.

Own transport essential due to some rural locations.
