The aim of this role is to be part of a team providing a comprehensive information, advice and support to carers in Manchester. The post holder will work alongside colleagues from Gaddum and potentially other organisations to be the first contact in a busy service providing advice via a telephone advice line and managing referrals made through digital sources. They will provide information and advice and refer more complex issues to the appropriate agencies delivering the Manchester Carers Pathway.

Key responsibilities

  • Answering telephone calls into a central helpline offering support and guidance to unpaid carers in Manchester.
  • Provide relevant and meaningful support and information to unpaid carers utilising internal and external resources.
  • Inform carers about carers assessments and refer where necessary.
  • Inform carers about emergency grants available and refer where necessary.
  • Ensure all advice and support given is delivered in a timely manner to suit the needs of carers calling the helpline whilst balancing waiting callers.

Follow-up support

  • Refer unpaid carers to local services to access local and culturally appropriate support in their area.
  • Refer carers to Adult Social Care for Carers Assessments to discuss and improve their caring situation.
  • Signpost carers to relevant services in Manchester suited to their individual need.
  • Complete relevant grant applications for carers using the service where needed.
  • Use Carers Manchester Contact Point and other reliable and accurate resources to find, interpret and communicate relevant information to carers
  • Research and explore options and implications so that carers can make informed decisions.
  • Write and maintain detailed case records for all casework completed.
  • Collect required data for statistical monitoring and report preparation.
  • Complete the required training to comply with quality assurance processes.

The post-holder will be required to undertake other tasks as reasonably directed by the CMCP Coordinator, which will usually be commensurate with the skills and experience of the post-holder.
