We are recruiting for three new roles:
Carers Cuppa Volunteer- Carers Network have launched a new project called Carers Cuppa in partnership with Charing Cross Hospital and Royal Brompton Hospital. Each hospital will have a designated “Carers Cuppa” table within the hospital cafés, offering a place to support unpaid carers of the sick and disabled.
Carers Cuppa Volunteers will reach out to hidden carers and highlight that the Carers Cuppa table is designated place to meet other unpaid carers in a similar position, whilst networking with hospital staff to promote the project to patients. The volunteer will also promote our services and facilitate referrals to Carers Network.
More information on Carers Cuppa can be found below:

Community Outreach and Events Volunteer: Delivering information stands in GP Practices, promoting our services and volunteering opportunities at job fairs, and volunteer fairs. Other aspects of the role include delivering support groups or greeting and liaising with carers at social events.
Community Link Worker- The Community Link Worker is an outreach-based role that will work closely with our Service Managers to travel tri-borough. The role of the Community Link Worker is to build relationships with new partner organisations to increase referrals to Carers Network, and to raise awareness of our services in the wider community.
