This is a project start-up and lead role with an anticipated three-month project development window. It requires excellent communication and negotiation skills, a commitment to establishing and maintaining quality standards, an ownership of your work, a belief in what you are doing, and an understanding of why it matters. If you thrive delivering important, life-enhancing people-focused projects with diverse work loads, and believe you have the skills and abilities to assist us with informing significant change across the Royal Borough of Greenwich for unpaid carers, we would, most definitely, like to hear from you.

Unpaid carers are the unsung heroes of our society. We are Greenwich Carers Centre - a well-established, highly regarded and much-loved charity dedicated to their support.

Becoming an unpaid carer is rarely a choice. Through accident, illness or injury, giving ourselves to the care and support of a loved one is something that one in every two of us will do at some point in our lives.

For many of us, caring becomes a 24-hour, year-on-year commitment - an expression of love that requires the gifting of our careers, our plans, and our lives.

For others, providing essential care whilst holding down a financially necessary job means balancing the needs of the workplace with needs of the care relationship. The competing pressures of work and caring are detrimental to wellbeing. Feelings of anxiety, stress and guilt are common to working carers and a risk to their emotional, physical and mental health. Life can become an endless struggle to hold everything together and not let anyone down. Working and caring can be downward spiral to not working at all. Many carers exit employment and continue to provide care in financial hardship and poverty.

…it doesn’t need to be this way – with your help, we are going to change it.
