You will work flexibly between Fife Carers Centre, the Cowdenbeath locality and from home.

Your work will include offering sensitive, person-centred support to unpaid and family carers. You will promote their physical and mental well-being by providing a comprehensive information service that empowers carers to make informed decisions about their emotional, physical, and economic welfare. This includes offering one-on-one support to help carers access services, develop self-advocacy skills, and, when needed, advocate on their behalf.

You’ll be supporting carers to identify and achieve their own outcomes using the Carer Support Planning process and providing carers with a benefit check, assisting with benefit applications, and very importantly providing a listening ear for carers.
