Job description

About Us

Brent Carers Centre is a leading local charity supporting unpaid carers of all ages. Our Young Carers Service works with children and young people aged 5–24 who look after a parent or family member due to disability, long‑term illness, mental ill‑health or addiction.

We’re now recruiting a Trainee Young Carers Service Worker — an ideal opportunity for someone passionate about working with young people and looking to start a career in youth work, family support or social care.

We offer full training, mentoring, and a structured development pathway.

About the Role

As a Trainee Young Carers Service Worker, you’ll support the team to identify, engage and support young carers across Brent. You will help deliver group sessions, holiday activities, school workshops and one‑to‑one support, all with guidance and supervision.

This is a hands‑on, rewarding role where you’ll help young carers build confidence, reduce isolation and achieve their goals.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support school outreach, assemblies and awareness workshops
  • Help facilitate group sessions and young carers clubs
  • Assist with planning and delivering holiday programmes and trips
  • Provide supervised 1:1 support to young carers (goal‑setting, wellbeing check‑ins)
  • Help create support plans tailored to young people’s needs
  • Work with schools, families and professionals to coordinate support
  • Keep accurate records on our case management system
  • Adhere to safeguarding, GDPR and professional boundaries

About You

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds — including those with lived experience of caring.

You will be:

  • Passionate about supporting children & young people
  • Kind, patient and a good communicator
  • Willing to learn and take part in training
  • Organised, reliable and able to follow procedures
  • Comfortable working in schools, community venues and group settings
  • Able to work occasional early evenings or weekends

Languages commonly spoken in Brent (e.g., Somali, Gujarati, Arabic, Polish, Romanian) are an advantage but not essential.

What We Offer

  • Full training programme (safeguarding, youth work skills, communication, risk, GDPR)
  • Regular supervision and access to professional development
  • Supportive and friendly team environment
  • Clear progression route into a Young Carers Support Worker role
  • Pension, holiday allowance and flexible working
  • Hybrid working for administrative tasks

How to Apply

Please submit:

  • Your CV (max 2 pages)
  • A short supporting statement explaining what interests you about this role, what you would bring and how you’d meet the person specification

Additional Information

Brent Carers Centre is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All appointments are subject to an Enhanced DBS check, references and appropriate checks. We welcome applicants from all communities and backgrounds.
