This is a new and exciting post within Fife Carers Centre, made possible by funding from The National Lottery for an initial period of three years.
This role will involve delivering sensitive, person-centred support to unpaid parent and guardian carers who are caring for children or young people with additional needs. It will focus on promoting their physical and mental wellbeing by providing a comprehensive information service that empowers parent carers to make informed decisions about their emotional, physical, and financial health. This includes offering one-to-one support to help parent carers navigate the complex caring role and access the services and resources they need.
This role will assist parent carers in identifying and working towards their personal goals through the Adult Carer Support Planning process. In addition, it will provide benefit checks, support with benefit applications, and offer a compassionate listening ear during challenging times.
The role will also involve developing a strong awareness of, and building collaborative relationships with, local organisations and services—including health, education, and social care partners—to ensure parent carers receive holistic and coordinated support.
