Job Purpose

In the ever-changing environment of youth work, it is vital that within Slough we have both, safe spaces for young people to develop positive and trusting relationships and opportunities for them to develop their talents, skills and aspirations.

Together As One (formerly Aik Saath) has delivered a variety of youth services across Slough for over 25 years and a young carers service for almost 10 years.

“Young carers are children and young people (up to the age of 18 or 25 with SEND) whose life is affected by looking after someone with a disability or long-term illness. The person they care for may be a parent, a sibling, another family member or a friend, but need not necessarily live in the same house as them. The care that young carers give may be practical, physical and/or emotional.”

The terms ‘disability’ and ‘long-term illness’ do not just mean a physical disability or illness, but also cover, for example, mental illness, learning disability, substance misuse, frailty and old age.

Job Role

Working closely with the Chief Executive and the wider Together As One team, you will support the development and delivery of our Young Carers Service in Slough. This will involve the oversight of any emergent funding or contracts and the reporting requirements back to the funders.

As an employee of Together As One, you will enjoy a wide and varied portfolio of work allowing you to build on your current skills and expertise for which suitable training and support will be provided.
