Young Carer Involvement Worker (x2)

The Carers Centre is a growing and forward-thinking organisation with ambition to support an increasing number of children, young people and adults who provide unpaid care for a family member or friend due to disability, illness, addiction, or frailty.

Thanks to funding from Falkirk Health and Social Care Partnership and Young Start we currently have 2 exciting opportunities to join our dedicated team of support workers who deliver information, support and involvement services for young carers of all ages across Falkirk district and Clackmannanshire.

With the Carers (Scotland) Act fully embedded into practice and the incorporation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into Scots Law imminent, supporting the voices of young carers has never been so important.

These roles will facilitate meaningful young carer and young adult carer participation – from involvement through the provision of information and opportunities to participate in consultations, to direct engagement in shaping the outcome of services to support young carers.

We are looking for enthusiastic and passionate people who will champion the rights of young carers. You will be self-motivated and be able to demonstrate the ability to use your own initiative and have a commitment to team work.

If you have the necessary skills and think you would like to join our dedicated team to help make a positive difference to the lives of local young carers, please read the supporting documents below and apply now!

Closing date for applications is Monday, 30th September 2024. Interviews dates TBC.
