By including everyone, we are able to draw on the unique experiences and expertise of our people to help shape and enrich our workplace and improve our services. One way we are doing is through our valued staff networks which play a critical and highly valued role in keeping us focused on creating a diverse, inclusive and engaged employer.  We recognise and support staff networks for our Black, Asian and minority ethnic and our LGBTQIA+ colleagues.

Carers UK is looking for an Account Executive to support the Income Generation and Communication team in delivering activities to maintain and grow significant income from Carers UK’s products and services, namely the Employers for Carers forum.  

This is a pivotal time for working carers as the Carer’s Leave Act becomes law, making it a statutory requirement for all employers to support unpaid carers by providing five days unpaid carers leave. We believe we have the platform to bring about change, as well as provide carers with the support they need.

About us

Carers UK’s vision is to create a society that recognises, values and supports carers. As the leading national charity for unpaid carers, we exist to make life better for carers, however caring affects them. Our support, advice, information and campaigning work are now needed more than ever, as unpaid carers are providing more and more care, adversely impacting on their own health and wellbeing.

Despite being a relatively small charity, we regularly punch above our weight. We have influenced almost every piece of legislation concerning carers over the past 60 years: from the first ever 1967 legal right for carers to the 2024 Carer’s Leave Act, whereby employers must provide five days unpaid leave to employees. Our Employers for Carers forum was hugely influential in the passing of the Act.

We now have an exciting opportunity for an Account Executive to join our team and build on this recent success. This is a pivotal time for working carers as the Carer’s Leave Act has become law, after years of campaigning by Carers UK. This means it is now a statutory requirement for all employers to support unpaid carers by giving five days unpaid carers leave. However, we realise that there are still many barriers facing working carers, so we are already campaigning for a further change in the law for this to become a week of paid leave.

About the role

Our best practice employer forum, Employers for Carers (EfC), works as a department of Carers UK and helps businesses create carer-friendly workplaces. With the change in employment law, now is an exciting time for our forum to grow in size and influence, ultimately helping millions more carers.

We are seeking a new business Account Executive to help grow the membership of Employers for Carers at this exciting time. While this role sits within the Income Generation and Communication directorate, it is not a fundraising role but focuses on selling our Employers for Carers product as earned income. As such, the successful candidate will meet with leading organisations to improve their workplace practices, engaging with HR and D&I teams.

Diversity and inclusion

Carers UK is committed to becoming a diverse and truly inclusive organisation. We strive to create a workplace where our colleagues and volunteers can truly be themselves and feel like they belong and constantly seek to ensure all voices are heard.

To embrace this culture of diversity, our employee and volunteer recruitment should reflect our stakeholders and the society that we serve and support, regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, physical abilities, disabilities or religious practices. We value individual diversity and are actively building diverse teams here at Carers UK and value our colleagues from a wide range of backgrounds.

As a membership charity for carers, we particularly seek employees and volunteers with a real understanding of the issues faced by carers. Reasonable adjustments can be made to the process and role dependent on the needs of the applicant.

At Carers UK we want our application process to be as accessible as possible. If you need any adjustments to apply please email the recruitment team to discuss.
