Help make the transition.

Join our team supporting Young Adult Carers, aged 16-25 years, who have caring responsibilities for someone in their family due to disability, long-term illness, mental health, or drug or alcohol misuse. The team covers Dartford, Gravesham, and Swanley so a car driver is essential.

Young Adult Carers have a lot going on in their lives. As well as caring, they are managing all the normal stresses of growing up… exams, friendships, relationships, work, money. They’re making decisions about key transitions… should I go to university?... get a job?... move out of home? These lead to concerns about who will look after the person they care for or guilt about leaving them. If they choose to stay at home and continue to care, there may be additional challenges like applying for benefits or arranging respite.

As a coordinator, you’ll provide information and advice, and emotional and practical support to guide the Young Adult Carers through these times. You might help them prepare for job interviews, advocate on their behalf to get additional support at college or university, or to have difficult conversations with family members.

You’ll also provide opportunities for Young Adult Carers to meet each other at workshops and events, where they can share ideas and support each other as peers.

Applicants should have relevant work, volunteering or personal experience.

As part of the Campaigns & Public Affairs Team you’ll be playing a key part in raising the charity’s public profile and securing the fundamental changes needed to end the harm of prison to women, their families and communities.

The role will plan and deliver communications strategies across digital channels and media that bring WIP’s work to life, inspiring and motivating members of the public, policymakers and politicians to support our campaigns and aims.

The post-holder will work closely with frontline staff and women affected by the criminal justice system to ensure their voices and experiences are at the heart of our communications, creating compelling news stories and social media content to engage audiences with our campaigns.

We’re also looking for a quick learner. We don’t expect you to know or have done everything when you start – instead, with support from your manager, we’ll be looking for you to pick up new skills and knowledge quickly, then run with them.

You might have experience in either digital communications or campaigns, media, or fundraising – we want to hear from you!

We actively encourage applications from women from a variety of backgrounds, and with a range of skills and experiences. We are particularly interested to hear from women from Black, Asian and minoritised communities and women who have personal experience of the criminal justice system. The role is only open to women, in accordance with the sex-based exemptions of the Equality Act 2010 pursuant to Schedule 9, Part 1.

To apply, please find the recruitment pack including the Job Description and Person Specification on our website and complete the application form in full. Please note that Curriculum Vitae’s (CVs) will not be accepted.
