Job description
**Do you have a passion for supporting young carers and making a real difference?**
Are you looking for a rewarding new role in a small, local charity? Join the Carers’ Hub team and make a lasting difference to the lives of young carers in Lambeth. This is an opportunity to manage a talented and dedicated team as we enter the next phase of our development.
The Young Carers Team Leader is responsible for providing vision, leadership and management to the Young Carers staff team. This varied role includes the management and supervision of the Young Carers team and supporting a caseload of young carers through 1:1, group work and activities. This role would suit someone who has previously worked with children and young people and has experience helping people to identify and address support needs.
**About us**
Carers’ Hub plays a vital role in Lambeth, supporting the many unpaid carers across the borough with 1-1 and peer support, signposting, monthly forums, training, workshops and social activities. We are a charity with ambition, a big heart, and an outsized impact.
The Young Carers Service supports young carers aged 5 and up who care, unpaid, for a friend or family member who has an illness, disability, mental health or drug or alcohol problem. Some caring roles are big, others small. Either way, we’re here to help.
Adventure, friendship and support are super-important for young carers, so we split our work into three areas:
- We organise a mixture of exciting activities throughout the year
- We run monthly young carers groups - a space to relax and have fun
- We provide a listening ear and relevant help to young carers and their families
In addition to our core offer to young carers, the service also runs a dedicated young adult carers project and two projects supporting young carers aged 11 - 16 with their education. The Young Carers team also undertakes young carers assessments and supports young carers with short-breaks.
**As the Young Carers Team Leader you must be**:
- Available to work between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday (with regular evening and occasional weekend work)
- Available to work between 11am and 7pm on Tuesdays, during term-time
- Experienced working with children and families with complex needs
- Willing to travel within Lambeth
- Willing to undergo a Disclosure and Barring Service check
**What can we offer you?**
- Professional development, induction, ongoing training and support
- Hybrid working
- Permanent contract
- Holiday pay and pension
- Travel reimbursed
**Closing date: 9am Friday 21st February 2025**
**Interviews: Thursday 27th February at 336 Brixton Road
