Derbyshire Carers Association (DCA) is a friendly, innovate and growing Charity that’s adding huge social value to families and communities across the East Midlands.
We recruit skilled staff and volunteers who share our core values. We offer flexible working (where appropriate), generous leave entitlements and we also support Carers within the workplace. Staff are encouraged to improve their skills whilst working for DCA and we offer a variety of free training packages to support personal development.
We have volunteer and apprenticeship roles within the organisation which can improve potential job opportunities, and in many cases, has led to gaining employment with DCA.
If you want to make a difference by supporting the thousands of unpaid Carers across Derbyshire, then we hope you'll consider coming to work for us.
Young Carers Support Worker Vacancy
Due to growing demand, our Young Carers team is expanding. We are looking for a Support Worker to join our county wide team. Young Carers are children under 18 who help to support and care for a family member or close friend who has a long term health condition, illness, mental health condition, learning disability or problem with drug or alcohol abuse.
Our support workers help to reduce the impact of a caring role on the young carer, working closely with them and their families. We want all young carers to have the same opportunities as their peers. If you are a compassionate person, who can think innovatively to find ways to make a change for someone, we’d be very interested in hearing from you.
You would be joining a supportive and experienced team, with opportunities for training and development.
Applications will only be accepted on a DCA Application form. Please fill in all sections in as much detail as possible and refer to the job description and person specification. CVs will not be accepted.
