Unpaid Carers in England and Wales alone contribute around £162bn to the economy through their role as unpaid carers. They look after a loved one who needs care, without doing this as a paid job, and devote many hours of their time every week to the person they care for.

If you understand how crucial unpaid carers are to the community and are able to articulate their case to engage employers to support them in work - this is the job for you.

We are looking for a confident, passionate, articulate person who can communicate in a clear and compelling way to engage Bradford employers in:

• Identifying carers within their workforce so that they can support the valuable role they play in society
• Encouraging carers to work for them as their needs will be understood
• Encouraging other employers to join a consortium of like-minded employers across Bradford to become ‘Carer Confident Employers’

If you think you have the skills necessary to do this role we would welcome hearing from you.

In turn we will support you by helping with desk top research to engage with employers we had historical relationships with and with introductions to external partner organisations who will actively work with you to support this role and this agenda.

Please email your CV and a covering letter stating why you think you are perfect for this role.

About Sebby’s Corner

Sebby’s Corner is a Barnet-based charity supporting vulnerable families and children living in poverty across London and the South East. We support thousands of families every year with clothing, nappies, formula, school uniforms, birthday gifts and more. In 2024–25, we supported almost 4,000 children and over 2,300 parents, distributing £482,993 worth of essentials.
