York Carers Centre is an independent charity supporting unpaid carers in York. We have an exciting opportunity for two individuals who have a genuine interest in using their experience and skills to support others, to join our friendly dedicated team and provide advice, information and support, to carers of patients being discharged from York Hospital and as part of the Frailty Hub.
We have funding for two roles who will work together at the hospital and in the community. Candidates will have the opportunity at interview to discuss which role they would like to be considered for.
One role will be mainly based at the hospital although some community work will be required. You will be supporting carers through the discharge process and working in partnership with other organisations as part of the Integrated Discharge Support Service.
The second role will be working at the hospital and as part of the Community Frailty Hub which provides frailty prevention, crisis response, and discharge support, aiming to reduce hospital admissions and improve the quality of life and health and social care outcomes for frail individuals in York.
Both roles will require a strong working knowledge of benefits entitlements, Carers Rights, Community Care, Health and Social care pathways, and support services for carers. You will be supporting carers to prevent hospital admission and/or promote safe discharge from hospital.
If you are empathetic and compassionate with excellent communication and engagement skills, can work within the boundaries of confidentially, engage sensitively with a wide range of clients and have experience of advocating on behalf of vulnerable individuals, then we’d love to hear from you.
