Children & Young People Coordinator - Young Carers
We have an exciting opportunity to join our team in East Sussex who support Young Carers, aged 5-18, who have caring responsibilities for someone in their family due to disability, long‐term illness, mental health, or drug or alcohol misuse.
You will manage an existing caseload and new referrals, meeting with families and Young Carers to complete statutory assessments and provide short‐term interventions that support Young Carers to improve their resilience, educational chances and wellbeing. This may include signposting to local services, action planning, one‐to‐one support, or our workshop programme.
Working closely with schools and Childrens Services, you will refer families to a range of professionals and community services, ensuring whole family needs are met and thereby reducing the impact of caring on the Young Carer.
As a CYP Coordinator, you will plan and deliver workshop sessions and activities, providing opportunities for Young Carers to spend time with their peers and recognise that they are not alone.
This is a full‐time role, delivering the service across Hastings & Rother and including occasional work at our Lamberhurst office. Some early evenings are required. Own car essential.
