About Carers Bucks
At Carers Bucks we are committed to making a lasting and positive difference in the lives of unpaid carers across Buckinghamshire - from children as young as five, to adults supporting loved ones, through physical or mental illness, frailty, disability or addiction. We understand that caring can impact a person’s health, wellbeing and future opportunities and we are here to change that.
Our vision is that every unpaid carer in Buckinghamshire feels recognised, respected and supported in their role – so they can access the right support, at the right time, in a way that works for them – regardless of age, circumstance and cultural or socio-economic background.
Our team is at the heart of everything we do. We foster a positive, supportive working culture where wellbeing matters, and professional development is encouraged and celebrated.
Our values reflect our core principles and culture. They guide how we engage with service users and how we work as a team. We are:
Kind We understand the challenges carers face. With real compassion and empathy we are able to build confidence and resilience in both carers and colleagues.
Inclusive We adapt our services to meet the diverse needs of all carers, making sure they feel seen, supported and empowered in their role.
Collaborative We work together – with carers, partners and one another – to listen, learn and improve outcomes.
Innovative We are curious to find better ways to support carers. We are open to new ideas and committed to improving what we do.
Reliable We are informed, trustworthy and confidential. We do what we say we will - every time.
As a trusted local charity with over 20 years’ experience, we are continually evolving to meet carer’s needs and improve access to support.

· Work closely with our internal Evidence Gathering Group, our Medical Advisor, and Information and Research Manager to facilitate the development of the relationship, profile and reach between the charity and the health and social care sectors.
· Develop a wide network of key healthcare professionals to inform our strategy, provide expertise, expert review of materials, and content (podcasts, webinars, blogs)
· Co-produce posters, abstracts and academic articles to present at key conferences.
· Identify and attend key healthcare events and conferences, building networks, partnerships and other resources to increase knowledge and awareness.
Other responsibilities
· Create meaningful engagement with the MS community and healthcare professional partners, widening our reach to support more people with MS.
· Empower people affected by MS and their healthcare professionals to discuss lifestyle modification and the Overcoming MS Program with confidence, improving self-management and health outcomes.
· Identify opportunities for accessing funding streams, working with Fundraising colleagues to diversify our income base.
· Raise our profile within the healthcare environment so that they recommend the charity and will advocate on our behalf.
· As we are a small, busy charity, all staff help with the general running of the organisation in addition to their specific role activities.
What you will bring
· Proven experience in healthcare partnership development and stakeholder engagement.
·Strong understanding of the challenges facing people living with a lifelong condition such as MS, including the emotional, physical, and social impacts along with a strong understanding of the NHS, Public Health and the UK health care policy landscape.

About Crewe Town Council
Crewe Town Council was formed in 2013 as the result of a referendum, with a role to provide a strong voice for Crewe. The parish of Crewe is broken into six wards made up of a diverse community. The Council is made up of twenty elected members (Town Councillors) and a small team of officers work to deliver local services and activities including events.
About Events at Crewe Town Council

Events make a huge contribution to our local community and economy. They provide recreational opportunities for residents and contribute to strong, resilient communities by providing the chance for people to have an active role in the community through volunteering or participation in event activities. At their biggest, events give Crewe a raised profile, boosting inward investment and visits to the town.
The town enjoys a thriving and engaged community which is keen to express its individuality as well as welcome ideas for contemporary events from around the country.
