This Job Has Expired! This advert has now been deleted by the advertiser, the details below are for information only.


Help make the transition.

Join our team supporting Young Adult Carers, aged 16-25 years, who have caring responsibilities for someone in their family due to disability, long-term illness, mental health, or drug or alcohol misuse. The team covers Dartford, Gravesham, Swanley & Swale so a car driver is essential.

Young Adult Carers have a lot going on in their lives. As well as caring, they are managing all the normal stresses of growing up… exams, friendships, relationships, work, money. They’re making decisions about key transitions… should I go to university?... get a job?... move out of home? These lead to concerns about who will look after the person they care for or guilt about leaving them. If they choose to stay at home and continue to care, there may be additional challenges like applying for benefits or arranging respite.

As a coordinator, you’ll provide information and advice, and emotional and practical support to guide the Young Adult Carers through these times. You might help them prepare for job interviews, advocate on their behalf to get additional support at college or university, or to have difficult conversations with family members.

You’ll also provide opportunities for Young Adult Carers to meet each other at workshops and events, where they can share ideas and support each other as peers.

Applicants should have relevant work, volunteering or personal experience.

Make an impact. Be part of the solution.

We offer our employees:
• Inclusive values-based environment
• Competitive remuneration package
• Workplace pension scheme
• Generous annual leave entitlement
• Opportunities for hybrid working
• Benenden Health Care
• Death in Service Benefit
• Cycle to Work Scheme
• Employee Supported Volunteering scheme
• Development opportunities
• and more
