Camden Carers is a charity organisation that provides support and services to informal carers within the London Borough of Camden.

Main Purpose of the Role:

Would you like the opportunity to work for Camden Carers supporting unpaid carers in Camden and gain the knowledge and skills needed to move into Volunteer Management?

We have an exciting opportunity for the right candidate who will gain the skills, knowledge and experience of developing our Volunteering Programme here at Camden Carers.

This post is funded through the Rank Foundations ‘Time to Shine’ programme, that enables individuals with the right skills mix, talent and work ethic the opportunity to experience a 12-month paid leadership and development placement in a charity. This post is aimed at entry level candidates who would like to develop skills to move into Project Manager. The successful candidate will be able to attend ‘Time to shine’ development days, Leadership and Ranknet events.

We are looking for a hardworking, enthusiastic and flexible team member to join our dynamic team at Camden Carers and make a difference to the lives of people and families in Camden.

This role will work closely with carers, colleagues, Trustees and volunteers to create a Volunteer Strategy and programme for the Organisation. This strategy alongside written procedures, volunteering job roles and training packages will support the organisation to identify and recruit more volunteers to work with the organisation.

Camden Carers proactively embraces equality and diversity at the very core of what we do, throughout the organisation.

Our commitment to equality, diversity and anti-racism is to ensure that all carers have equal access in accordance with their individual needs to our services, no matter their background, belief, sexual orientation, disability, gender, or ethnicity. Carers, who provide care for a family member, partner or friend who has a disability or long-term illness, play a vital role in our community.
