Our client is a local charity based in Uxbridge that operates support services for unpaid carers living or caring in the London Borough of Hillingdon.

They work to improve support and recognition for anyone living with the challenges of caring, unpaid, for a family member or friend who is ill, frail, disabled or has mental health or addiction problems.

They support carers from as young as five years old and have a great range of support for children and young people who are caring in their formative years, as well over 80 free services for adult carers.

They work closely with other charities that provide specialist support for carers.

Purpose of role:

• To work as part of our Hillingdon Young Carers team in a leadership role to manage and develop all borough-wide young carer services outside the Schools Outreach programme (which has its own manager).
• To form a strong working relationship with the current Schools Outreach Manager and to jointly provide clear guidance and leadership to all the operational staff across our Children and Young Peoples services.
• To ensure that there is appropriate cross-referral between services and that young and young adult carers receive the right support, at the right time, from the right part of the organisation.
• To take a lead on developing relationships outside the organisation that benefit the futures of our young and young adult carers, with a particular focus on local businesses to secure training, work experience and apprenticeships.
