We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and committed Carer Support Worker to join our dynamic, professional and friendly team. This role is perfectly suited to someone with experience of working with carers of people experiencing difficulties with their mental health.
Based in the Early Intervention in Psychosis Team/Community Mental Health Team you will work closely with other members of the Multi-Disciplinary Team, in leading the assessment and provision of support to carers, family members and significant others to enable their mental health and resilience to be optimised.

You will provide carers with information and advice about services both within and external to the organisation, that contributes to their caring role and increases their knowledge regarding care and treatment processes. You will also signpost and facilitate carers access to a range of support services.
