Would you like to work for an organisation that makes a difference within your local community, an organisation that supports unpaid carers' and impacts positively on their lives?

Carer Support Wiltshire provides support directly to unpaid carers of all ages, as well as raising their profile and needs with health and social care professionals, employers, and the public.

Key duties and responsibilities will include making initial contact with carers by phone and/or email to undertake a short light touch assessment then to signpost, advise or refer as appropriate based on assessment.

As a member of a small new team, the post holder will identify appropriate sources of information, advice, benefits, equipment, and services which carers can access and actively contribute and participate in publicity events and represent Carer Support Wiltshire and to raise awareness of carers' needs.

"Our carers come from all walks of life and so do we." We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it makes our organisation stronger."

The people we are looking for will have a good standard of education, GCSE or equivalent and an understanding of carers' issues and rights. You will have experience of working in a health or social care environment and able to work flexibly within a team.
