The role is funded by the UK Government Crisis Resilience Fund.
As a Carer Funds Support Worker, you will have sensitive, person-centred conversations with carers to understand their circumstances, identify immediate and wider needs, and complete high-quality applications to the Crisis and Resilience Fund.
