Every day, unpaid carers across Reading help loved ones cope with illness, disability and later life challenges – often with little support for themselves. In this role, youll help ensure they can access the advice, information and practical support they need to continue caring with confidence.
As our Carers Support, Advice and Information Coordinator, you will play a key role in delivering a vital service on behalf of Reading Borough Council, helping carers access the support they need while ensuring Age UK Reading continues to provide a high-quality, responsive and impactful service.
You will work as a member of the Carers Partnership alongside 3 other local charities. Providing information and guidance, coordinating carers assessments, running a support group and helping to identify people who may not yet recognise themselves as carers. Combining compassion, organisation and problem‑solving skills, you will make a meaningful difference to the lives of local carers while helping to strengthen support for carers across Reading.
Please note this is not a role that can be done remotely. You will need to be on the ground, in Reading, undertaking home visits to provide face‑to‑face support to carers.
