Carers Trust is the largest UK wide charity for the nation’s 7 million unpaid carers. Together with our Network Partners, we provide support, information, advice and services for children, young people and adults caring, unpaid, for a family member or friend. The number of carers is a growing issue, with 3 in 5 of us likely to become a carer at some point in our lifetime. Carers save the UK economy over £119bn every year and act as a main support to our stretched health and social care systems.
We are currently looking for a Compliance Officer for our Working for Carers project. Working for Carers supports carers and former carers across London to find, or move closer to, employment. Support is tailored to meet individual carers’ needs but may include one-to-one support with an advisor, and access to a range of training and volunteering opportunities. The project is led by Carers Trust and delivered in partnership with four Network Partners (carers services) working across all London boroughs.
The successful candidate will have experience of preparing records for audit, ensuring that finance claims and project activity meet compliance requirements. They will have excellent attention to detail, good numeracy skills, and the ability to interpret complex data. They will also have extensive IT skills, with working knowledge of Microsoft Excel, and a good understanding of data protection issues. The successful candidate will have the proven ability to prioritise and manage their time effectively, and work towards meeting tight deadlines. They will also have good communication skills, with the ability to support others with compliance and preparing for audits. This is a great opportunity for someone interested in joining a vibrant organisation and successful, cross organisational team.
Working for Carers is jointly funded by the European Social Fund and The National Lottery Community Fund as part of the Building Better Opportunities programme. This is a significant but time-limited project, focused on developing and delivering new services for unemployed and economically inactive carers across London. For this reason, this post is offered as a fixed term contract until 30 September 2022.
Closing date for applications is 12: 00 noon on 10th May 2021.
Interviews will be held online (via Zoom) on 20th May 2021.

Background information
Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust is the UK's leading charity dedicated to those affected by cervical cancer and cell changes (abnormalities). The charity was established in 1999 by James Maxwell following the death of his wife Jo, aged 40, from cervical cancer.
Since then we have provided advice and support to thousands of women and their families.
We offer a range of online and face-to-face support and information including: information materials, a free helpline, online forum, national and regional support days and an ‘ask the expert’ service. Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancer amongst young women (under 35) in the UK and Europe.
Two women a day in the UK will die from cervical cancer whilst over 3,000 women are diagnosed each year. In addition, some 220,000 a year are told they may have a cervical abnormality that may require treatment. Thanks to the NHS Cervical Screening and HPV vaccination programmes cervical cancer is a largely preventable disease. However, for those affected, the impact of cancer on a woman's life and that of her family cannot be overstated.
This is an exciting time to join the charity. In recent years awareness of our work and cervical cancer has grown significantly with annual income from £288k to £1.8m. The staff team has also significantly grown to 23 enabling us to reach more women than ever before.
Over the past few years our work has been recognised a number of times including winning a prestigious GSK IMPACT Award, Best Communications Campaign at the Third Sector Excellence Awards and a Plain English Osborne Memorial Award for our website, we have also achieved Investing in Volunteers accreditation.

Applicants are likely to have:
- A background in a health or caring profession, ideally with experience of supporting people with disabilities and stroke.
- Excellent IT skills and a strong understanding of how to use data to improve quality.
A flexible approach to your role is essential, as is the willingness to travel. The use of a car is desirable but not essential to be able to fulfil the requirements of the role.
This role is home based, but extensive travel is required across the local area and occasionally further afield.
Appreciating much of this role will be spent travelling in Hillingdon; we offer a Make Your Week Work for You and Those We Serve benefit, which in agreement with your line manager offers the opportunity to work flexibly. If you live within the service area, travel can be claimed from your location base, if you live outside of your service area, travel will be claimed from the service boundary.
To fulfil the role, you must have the right to work in the U.K
In return…
This is an exciting opportunity to work with stroke survivors and their families to support them following stroke and to raise stroke awareness in the local population. We offer a host of amazing benefits and flexible working options, with opportunities to progress your career.
