Carers Leeds wants to improve the lives of unpaid carers across the city. We provide information, advice and support to unpaid adult and parent carers in Leeds. We aim to influence others to act and create positive change for unpaid carers.

**What is an unpaid carer?**

An unpaid carer is someone who provides help and support to a family member, friend or neighbour who couldn’t manage without their help. This could be due to illness, disability, mental health problems or substance misuse.

**What we do**

Established in 1996, Carers Leeds is a charity which provides information, advice and support to unpaid adult and parent carers across our city. We have an Advice Line, carers support groups, one to one support and support in hospitals. Some of our services are open to all carers and some are targeted at specific groups of carers. Our services are provided to communities throughout Leeds.

We work in partnership with others to deliver our service and to influence them to act to benefit unpaid carers.

This is an exciting opportunity to become part of Carers Leeds support team within Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust (LTHT). We are looking for a Carer Support Worker who has a range of knowledge and skills to provide specific support to carers who are caring for someone who is an LTHT patient, carers who are themselves patients and also to LTHT staff who may have caring responsibilities.

**Key Duties and Responsibilities**:
To provide person-centred information, advice and support to carers who care for someone who is an in-patient in LTHT or where the carer is an in-patient.

To manage a case load of carers who are supporting patients with often complex physical and mental health needs and to become an expert in understanding the issues faced by carers who have contact with LTHT.
