You will be working as part of the Fife Carers Centre Hospital Carer Support Workers team covering hospitals in Fife. This post is based primarily at the Queen Margaret Hospital in Dunfermline. You’ll be working with hospital staff to connect with family and unpaid carers of patients and will then work with those carers to identify and address concerns and develop ways in which you can help them in their caring role.

Imagine that someone you care about is in hospital and it becomes clear that they will need help to manage life when they are discharged and then you realise that you will be the person giving that help! Along with the worry of thinking about their future wellness you might be wondering about what will you be expected to do and able to do, how will you know what help is available to support you looking after them, do you need equipment or adaptations in your home, is there financial help available? All of these questions and many more will be on your mind. Wouldn't it be a relief to know that there is someone close at hand able to help find the answers for you?

Carers are crucial to discharge from hospital being successful and sustained, but they need knowledge, confidence, and support to help it happen. Fife Carers Centre Hospital Carer Support Workers work with carers of people who are currently in hospital helping them to be ready for the individual to be discharged. You will help carers to understand what is happening with the cared for whilst they're in hospital and help to understand what will happen prior to and after discharge. You'll look at the ways in which the carer can be supported and work with colleagues and other organisations to provide that support. This might include Welfare Benefit applications, Emergency Planning, Carer Support Planning and Future planning, advocacy, as well as dealing with the individual ways in which the carers life might be impacted.

As part of the Fife Carers Centre Hospital Carer Support Worker team you will work mainly from Queen Margaret Hospital in Dunfermline but will also support carers of individuals in Lynebank Hospital. You will see carers in the community as well as in Hospital. Some of the work will be remote working and you will visit Fife Carers Centre on a regular basis.

We're looking for someone who is the right person for the job, you'll be compassionate and care about the carer's experience and want to work with them to help maintain their health and wellbeing. You'll use your knowledge, experience and creativity to develop an efficient and effective service to carers

Looking for a new challenge in Mental Health support work? Get ready to be excited about your work again!

Fife Carers Centre has a wonderful opportunity for the right person to make a big impression on the mental wellbeing of carers in Fife. This new post will focus on carers who need support with their own mental health as well as carers of people with mental health conditions.

We recognise that carers are operating under enormous pressure much of the time and as a result many find themselves struggling to maintain their own mental health. The Mental Health Carer Support worker will use their knowledge and experience and combine it with imagination, energy, creativity and flair to help carers develop sturdiness and resilience in their mental wellbeing, equip them with the tools and skills to recognise when they need to pay attention and take care of themselves and to help them plan a way to develop and retain good mental health. You'll also help carers of people with Mental Health conditions understand those conditions and learn how best to support that person.

This is a new post so you have the chance to develop something that combines working one to one and group work, activities and therapies - and to try out ideas that will make a difference. You will work with the excellent Fife Carers Centre Carer Support Team and develop relationships with other organisations to deliver a programme of support that really works for the carers in Fife.

This is a challenging role and chances like these don't come along often so if you think you are the right person for this opportunity make the most of it and apply today!
