If you have three years’ experience supporting young people, aged 5 – 18, in school and/or the community, have relevant qualifications and are up for a new challenge with a carer support organisation, part of an exciting developing partnership of three carer support organisations supporting young carers across Edinburgh then we want to talk to you.

Founded by Carers in 1998 Capital Carers, formerly North West Carers, is a highly regarded charity providing carer support to unpaid carers of all ages. Our Ethos is to provide unpaid carers with a range of high quality support services which enable them to have some normality of life whilst carrying out their caring role. Our Vision is that all carers get the help and support they need to sustain their caring role.

Our partnership has secured a five year contract with possible extensions to deliver appropriate support services to young carers in schools and in the community across Edinburgh. You will work a flexible 35 hour week to include some evening work and occasional weekend working.
