Introduction to Carers Voice Norfolk & Waveney

Carers Voice Norfolk & Waveney is a user-led charity providing the independent voice of Carers in the way their services are designed, developed and delivered. Its vision is to ensure that unpaid Carers throughout Norfolk & Waveney are valued, recognised, and supported with equal access to a good quality of life that is not prejudiced by their caring role.

The guiding principle that informs our work is expressed in the organisational mission statement:

‘To improve the health and wellbeing of all Carers in Norfolk & Waveney; through partnership working we will ensure that the voice of Carers is heard and listened to, enabling support and services to be designed and delivered that reflect Carers’ needs and interests’.

Carers Voice Norfolk & Waveney facilitates a countywide strategic partnership group and five locality network groups, all of which meet quarterly. CVN&W has a membership of over 2000 Carers and a reach extending to over 100 Carer groups countywide. The organisation is led by a board of trustees, all of whom have lived experience of caring, and who delegate day-to-day management to the Chief Officer who is supported by the Carers Voice Co-Production and Project Officer and the Membership & Administration Officer.

Carers Voice Norfolk & Waveney works in partnership with the Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board which provides the health and social care for Norfolk and Waveney together with statutory and voluntary organisations. We work closely with Norfolk County Council and the commissioned countywide support service for Carers, Carers Matter Norfolk.

Coproduction is central to everything we do at Carers Voice. Carers are ‘experts’ through their lived experience and Carers Voice works to ensure Carers are able to influence change regarding the services, policies and decisions that affect them and the people they care for. Coproduction is an equal relationship between people who use services and people responsible for services. Decision making is shared in planning, design, delivery and monitoring.

The role will be carried out mainly in weekday office hours and can be flexible to suit the right person. Very occasional evening and weekend work will be required. The role will predominantly involve working from home. Equipment such as mobile phone and laptop, will be supplied.
