Pontypool, United Kingdom The Care Collective Full time

We are passionate about supporting unpaid carers, the people who assist family members or friends with personal care, medical or healthcare, daily tasks or to stay safe.

With around 145 colleagues and a £3m+ turnover, we are one of the largest charities in Wales. As a collective, we change unpaid carers lives by delivering a wide range of services, including respite (giving carers a break); care in the home; and information, advice and support services across South Wales - an area which accounts for nearly 50% of the total number of unpaid carers in Wales.

Our key goals are that young and adult unpaid carers are able to help and get help for someone with care and/or support needs in a way that maximises that person’s independence and dignity; that carers look after their own physical and emotional wellbeing; can manage financially and have the time and energy to enjoy their life and achieve things that are important to that.

**Passionate**: People work for a charity because they want to make a difference, and our passion for helping others runs through our core. We are also passionate about contributing to the communities we operate in, and reducing the environmental impact of our services.
