Carer Support Worker

City & Hackney Carers Centre is a warm, welcoming and inclusive organisation which aims to improve the quality of life for unpaid carers. A cornerstone of our organisation is the provision of high-quality information and advice, enabling carers to understand their rights and entitlements.

We are seeking a Carers Support and Information Officer to provide carers with information on their rights, a friendly listening ear and the opportunity to meet other carers in similar situations through coffee mornings and online workshops. 

This post would suit someone who enjoys working with people, is a good listener and communicator and who is looking to develop their knowledge of carers rights, statutory services and welfare benefits. 

This post is client facing and will be based at our office in Dalston, Hackney which we share with 6 other local charities.   

We seek a motivated, enthusiastic person who enjoys working with teams and with people generally and who is passionate about delivering the highest quality information to unpaid carers. A second language is desirable but not essential.

We are interviewing on a rolling basis as soon as suitable candidates apply, so please send in your CV and covering letter as soon as possible.
