Carers Trust Hillingdon is the leading charity delivering high quality advice and support to unpaid family carers in the London Borough of Hillingdon.  

The pandemic has created significant new challenges for many of the unpaid carers that we support. We have therefore restructured our team to ensure we are able to respond to new needs and are looking to expand our highly successful Family Support Service. 

The service offers intensive support to complex families where there are young carers affected by parental drug or alcohol misuse and/or mental ill health, where there are multiple caring situations under one roof, or where the family is experiencing a  range of social issues.   

We are seeking an enthusiastic and self-motivated individual who has excellent interpersonal skills, preferably with a proven track record in youth or family support work, although the new post holder will have access to training and a mentor to support them into what is a challenging but rewarding role.

An enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check will be required for this post and there will be occasional evening or weekend work for which time off in lieu will be given. The post is based in Uxbridge with borough-wide travel.
