The Dixon Community South East Carers Centre. On behalf of the Glasgow City Carers Partnership
Glasgow South East Carers Centre provides services to unpaid family Carers, who look after a family member or friend
who cannot manage alone due to illness or disability, including Young Carers and their families.
Working alongside our Carers Support Workers and directly with Carers, our TPSC will identify training and peer
support opportunities which will enable Carers to manage their caring role and maintain their own health and
wellbeing.
Whilst delivering peer support groups directly, the TPSC will source appropriate providers for other training
opportunities. Training programmes will be innovative and continually developing, including those available
online.
Although experience is desirable, a willingness and commitment to learning is key, underpinned by strong admin,
communication and organisational skills.
Delivering key supports and services to Carers during the current pandemic, the successful candidate will support our
work via a mix of both home and office working.
The successful candidate will have a firm understanding and appreciation of unpaid family Carers, their roles,
contribution and value to our communities. The focus for this post will be working with young carers and their
families in the community.
Applicants must have an understanding of and commitment to the needs of carers, have excellent written and oral
communication skills, have experience of developing support plans, providing an information and advice service,
planning and delivery of services to support carers and have a knowledge and understanding of the policy drivers
for unpaid carers, especially in relation to the Carers Act. An understanding of the welfare benefits system and
a valid driving licence is desirable.
