Jobs in Inverness Central, Highland

Are you passionate about supporting others and making a genuine difference in your local community? We are looking for a dedicated Carer Link Worker to join our team and provide vital support to unpaid Carers across Lochaber & Skye.

As a Carer Link Worker, you’ll deliver a locally embedded information and advice service ensuring Carers can easily access timely, accurate and relevant support close to where they live. Working at the heart of the community, you will act as a key point of contact for Carers seeking guidance or connection.

Through outcome focused, person centred conversations, you will support Carers explore what matters most to them, identify their needs, and understand the options available. These conversations may include developing an Adult Carer Support Plan (ACSP) and carrying out regular reviews to monitor progress and adapt support as circumstances change.

A core part of the role involves active engagement within the local community, building strong local relationships, raising awareness of carer support, and proactively reaching Carers who may not yet be connected to services. You will also be contributing to local partnership meetings and work collaboratively with health, social care, and third sector partners to ensure Carers’ voices, rights and needs are recognised within local planning and service delivery.

Purpose of Role

The Data & Performance project worker is responsible for developing and maintaining the "reporting engine" for the regional Macmillan grant. The role ensures that the data flow from across Scotland— including Dundee, Aberdeen, Fife, and the Highlands—is consolidated into high-quality insights. You will bridge the gap between frontline advice (Welfare Benefits and Financial Health) and formal funder requirements, ensuring that every outcome is captured to demonstrate the project's impact on those living with cancer.
