This is an exciting time for St Helens Carers Centre as we continue to be a Centre of Excellence for Adult, Young Adult & Young Carers. The successful postholder will provide dedicated information and advice to Parent Carers who look after a child who has Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND). The support they offer will help them in their caring role.

Following the successful promotion of the current post holder to a management position with us, we are now looking for a new Wellbeing Officer.  They will be office-based as we pride ourselves on offering Carers with full accessibility to our services, providing face to face, online and telephone support. We are inviting applications from candidates who are empathetic, passionate, self-motivated, committed and want to work in an environment that is both rewarding and challenging due to the difficulties faced by many Parent Carers.

Who are we looking for…?

We are looking for a highly motivated individual, with experience of working directly with an adult client group. The successful candidate will have excellent communication and organisational skills, demonstrating a strong ability to working sensitively with adults over the age of 18 years of age who are Carers of a person under 25 years of age who have additional needs due to SEND.

What will the successful applicant be doing…?

They will work with newly referred Adult Parent Carers, offering support which will help to reduce the impact of their caring role. They will create a package of support, tailored to the needs of the Adult Parent Carer. The Adult Carers Wellbeing team aim to help Carers so that they get the support they need, preventing their caring role from having a negative impact on their social, mental, and physical wellbeing.
