* Offer clear, tailored advice on welfare benefits, entitlements, and local services.
* Register new carers, carry out assessments, and help them navigate their caring journey.
* Connect carers with the right services—working in partnership with local organisations and professionals to ensure a coordinated, person-centred approach.
* Help promote the wider services available across Age Concern Birmingham and the Forward Carers Partnership.
* Maintain accurate records and ensure each carer's support plan is regularly reviewed and updated.
What We're Looking For:
* A good understanding of welfare benefits and entitlements (or a willingness to learn).
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills—someone who listens, empathises, and builds trust.
* The ability to manage detailed information, maintain accurate records, and handle sensitive situations with care and confidentiality.
* A collaborative spirit—someone who works well in a team and with external partners.
* A passion for supporting people and making a positive difference in their lives.
