North Lanarkshire Carers Together is the Carer Information Service for unpaid carers in North Lanarkshire. We work in partnership with Health and Social Care North Lanarkshire and other community and voluntary organisations to ensure that unpaid carers are informed of their rights and are aware of the range of services that can support them in their caring role.

The post of Community Link Worker is a unique role within our organisation, working as part of the wider Community Solutions Programme to help reduce isolation and loneliness and address inequalities as part of an overarching programme of work. The post holder will bring a range of skills, experience and enthusiasm to further develop this work in the Motherwell locality.

If you have experience of working with and for communities, have an understanding of the issues facing unpaid carers and enjoy a challenge we are interested in hearing from you.

If you would wish to discuss any aspect of the post please email Allison Smith allison@carerstogether.org with contact details.
