Young Carer Support Officer - Isle of Arran, North Ayrshire, United Kingdom - 21HSC
Description
North Ayrshire Carers Gateway Young Carer Officer – UNITY
Location: North Ayrshire, Garnock & Largs
Permanent: Part Time, 25 hours per week, including some occasional weekend and evening work (plenty notice is given beforehand)
Salary: £17,301.43 per annum (FTE £24, % employer pension contribution
21 HSC are proud to announce that we have been exclusively retained on behalf of Unity to recruit a Carers Gateway Young Carer Officer.
Unity is a highly regarded and long-established charity that provides a range of services to support vulnerable and disadvantaged people across the West of Scotland. In North Ayrshire, they have supported unpaid carers for more than 20 years and have been contracted by the local Health and Social Care Partnership to introduce a vastly enhanced service. The new North Ayrshire Carers Gateway model will help more people, in more places and in more ways than ever before.
The purpose of the role is to improve the health and wellbeing of young carers in North Ayrshire. Working in schools and other community settings they identify young people aged between 8 and 18 who have caring responsibilities and support them to access a range of services and activities. The Officers raise awareness of the challenges faced by young carers amongst education, youth, and health professionals, encouraging earlier identification of carers and a multi-disciplinary approach in support them.
A young carer is between the age of eight and eighteen years old who provides support to a family member, whose life is affected by alcohol and or drug misuse, mental or physical illness or disability and who may have emotional and physical responsibilities beyond those normally given to children of their age.
Key Roles and Responsibilities:
* It is essential to have standard grade general level or equivalent in a minimum of four subjects one of which should be English.
· It is desirable to have an SVQ in Social Care or equivalent qualification.
To apply for this role, please click apply and send an up-to-date CV in support of your application in the first instance. For more information about the position available and a detailed job description and person specification, please contact Sean Carruthers at 21 HSC. Suitable applicants will be contacted asap with a view to securing a formal interview with the Senior Management Team and North Ayrshire HSCP. Short-listed applicants will be invited for an initial face to face/teams interview with one of our recruitment team.
21 HSC Limited is an equal opportunities employer
