You would be welcomed into our small, dedicated, friendly team. You would provide information, advice and support to people across the UK, primarily the relatives and friends of older people needing care. You would help people to understand the care system, their rights and entitlements, and guide them through problems they are experiencing with care services.

This is an exciting time to join the charity, as we invest in growing our advice service. You would help us to diversify and increase our reach across the UK.

We are committed to providing inclusive services, accessible to everyone. We value equality and inclusion and are committed to encouraging diversity amongst our team.

We particularly encourage applications from minoritised groups including carers and people with lived experience of care. This helps us to ensure our staff team reflects the diversity of the communities we exist to serve. 

What our adviser says:

"One of the things that attracted me to the role was that, as an adviser in a small organisation, you get a real insight into how the work of your team influences and informs policy work. It's a part of the job I enjoy the most and I've learnt so much from this. In larger organisations I wouldn't have this level of exposure to my colleagues working in other departments – you really get to see the full circle of the work Care Rights UK does.” Jo Holoway, Care and Support Adviser at Care Rights UK
