This is more than a job. It’s an opportunity to build meaningful relationships, empower carers, and ensure no one feels they are navigating mental health challenges alone.

About the service

Our Cornwall Mental Health Carers Service supports unpaid carers across the county, offering tiered support ranging from short-term guidance to more intensive, ongoing help.

We work flexibly — providing support face-to-face, online, by phone, and in community settings — and collaborate with partner organisations to ensure joined-up care.

What you’ll bring

We’re looking for someone who is compassionate, proactive and values-driven, with a genuine commitment to supporting carers.

Essential:

• Experience supporting people in health, social care, community, or carers services
• Understanding of unpaid carers’ needs and challenges
• Knowledge of mental health and recovery
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Ability to provide person-centred support and practical advice
• Confidence in managing risk and responding to safeguarding concerns
• Good IT skills and ability to manage a varied workload
• A relevant qualification or willingness to complete Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) within your first year

Desirable:

• Experience working directly with unpaid carers or families
• Experience facilitating groups or community activities
• Knowledge of local services and referral pathways

Why join us?

• Be part of a supportive, purpose-driven team
• Make a real difference to carers and families

To date we have supported over 15,000 refugees and people seeking asylum by giving them a second-hand bike. In addition, we have supported hundreds through our programmes designed to build confidence and build friendships in the local community.

We are now working towards our ambitious goal - that every refugee, wherever they are, can access the transformative power of a bike. Alongside this, we are strengthening our processes and procedures to ensure we are work efficiently and sustainably.
