One of the services we offer to unpaid family carers is the opportunity to attend Carer Engagement Events across the county to have their voice heard towards improving services for themselves and the people they care for. More information about the Engagement team can be found on our Have Your Say page. We are looking for volunteers to help with the planning of these events and supporting the running of these events on the day and is a very flexible volunteering opportunity.

Carer Trainer

Carer Trainers provide training to health and social care professionals and university students to influence and inform future good practice. Through sharing lived care experiences, they offer powerful insights to help organisations recognise how they can support and deliver more carer friendly services. The aim is to seek improved outcomes for both carers and workers in health and social care.

This role is different to other roles listed here. The role can be either paid or undertaken in a volunteer capacity. If you are interested, you will be put in touch with the Carer Trainer Project Worker to discuss your options.
