Locality Carer Support Worker - Glenrothes
Fife Carers Centre is seeking a dedicated Carer Support Worker to join our team, supporting unpaid and family carers across Fife.
Since 1995, we’ve been a trusted organisation, empowering thousands of unpaid carers and their families. Our vision is clear: every unpaid carer in Fife deserves to be valued, recognised, and supported to achieve a good quality of life, not compromised by their caring role.
Your role will centre on delivering compassionate, person-centred support tailored to the unique needs of carers. You’ll help carers maintain and improve their physical and mental well-being by providing comprehensive, up-to-date information, enabling informed decisions about their emotional, physical, and financial health.
This includes offering one-to-one support, guiding carers through accessing services, building their confidence in self-advocacy, and, where necessary, advocating on their behalf.
You will facilitate Carer Support Planning, empowering carers to identify and achieve their personal outcomes. Additionally, you will carry out benefits checks, assist with applications, and, crucially, provide a trusted listening ear to carers who need it most.
Closing date: noon on Tuesday, 26th August
Interview dates: Monday, 1st September
