Hospital Carers' Lead

2 weeks ago


London, United Kingdom Carers' Hub Full time

Job description

**Join the friendly Carers’ Hub team and make a vital difference to the lives of unpaid carers in Lambeth.**

We are looking for two Hospital Carers' Leads to join our new service supporting unpaid carers while the person they look after is in hospital or is discharged from hospital. We know that this can be a worrying and stressful time and that too often carers do not know where to turn to for information and support. Help us make sure that carers get the help and support they need, at this critical time.

You will play a pivotal role in developing and delivering a brand new offer for carers which seeks to increase the identification of carers within local hospitals, improve carer support during their cared for hospital stay and following their discharge from hospital.

Each Carer Lead will be based at Kings' College Hospital (Denmark Hill) or St Thomas Hospital, and will be responsible for:

- Offering** tailored short-term 1 to 1 support to unpaid carers,** working together to develop and implement plans to help improve carers’ experiences during the hospital stay, prepare for discharge and to address carers’ own needs.
- **Supporting unpaid carers **while the person they care for is in hospital via signposting to relevant support and information about their rights.
- Working collaboratively with partners within the hospital,** to raise awareness of carers and increase identification.**

If you are a passionate individual looking for a fast paced, rewarding role that will make a real difference to carers, we would love to hear from you.

**About us**
Carers’ Hub plays a vital role in Lambeth, supporting the many unpaid carers across the borough. Our work stems from the fact that carers often go about their roles despite the toll it might take on their own wellbeing, often having to make sacrifices that hamper their own ability to lead a normal life. Whether financial, educational or otherwise, we seek to limit the challenges that carers face. We achieve this through four core workstreams:

- raising awareness of carers,
- influencing local policy through community engagement activities,
- improving carer wellbeing and
- connecting carers to each other and to support and training opportunities through our services.

We welcome requests for informal chats to find out more about us as an organisation and the role. For more details, including how to get in touch, please see the Application Pack.

**Closing date**: Wednesday 17th April 2024 at 9 am.
