Job description
Ealing Carers Partnership offers support services to unpaid family carers aged 18+, living or caring for someone living in the London Borough of Ealing. We work together - and with others - to provide support services and breaks for carers. Our current services include: respite (replacement) care in the home; care worker support to access community groups or services; Carer Cafes in four locations across Ealing; a developing range of wellbeing activities, and; events and social opportunities. We are seeking volunteers to work alongside the team to support our work.
Main purpose of the role
The Carers Community Champions role is to support us in promoting Ealing Carers Partnership’s services by raising awareness of what we offer. We might ask for you to put up leaflets in your neighbourhood and, from time to time, to staff a stall in a community setting.

• Experience volunteering in a charity
• Develop new skills and experience, possibly helping you to find work
• Grow your confidence
• Take part in free training sessions to build your knowledge
• Meet new people
• Make a vital difference to the work of Ealing Carers Partnership.
It will give you the satisfaction of:
• Supporting carers and making a big difference in their lives

• Empowering communities by raising awareness of sources of support
• Being part of an organisation, which has strong values and provides help and support to those most marginalised in society

• Hand out leaflets or post fliers in supermarkets, doctors’ surgeries, libraries, leisure centres and other community venues with high footfall in your immediate neighbourhood
• Help with setting up of events and staffing stalls
• Help to pack up after the events
• Supporting staff at the Carers Cafés and making light refreshments
• Sharing your caring experiences with others if you are a former carer, or just listening to those that need to talk
• Accompanying carers on trips out
• Working with the team to find new ways of publicising services and providing insights about your neighbourhood.
Skills, experience and personal attributes
Whilst we are happy to provide training as needed, we hope that you will be able to demonstrate:
• A positive attitude towards vulnerable clients who may have a variety of complex needs and those who are caring for them
• The desire to gain local knowledge about services or a willingness to find out what is available to support local carers
• A minimum availability of 2/3 hours per week
• Being comfortable in terms of talking to people in groups
• A knowledge and understanding of Safeguarding, although full training will be given.

• Attend starter training sessions, an induction to the programme and staff
• Undertake a DBS check
• Attend Health and Safety, Safeguarding, Confidentiality and Customer Care training
• Attend appropriate team meetings/ briefings so you are up to date on what we are delivering
• Attend 6-8 weekly checks-ins for support for you and to see how you are doing within your role.

Out of pocket and travel expenses will be reimbursed as agreed upon commencement.
For this role volunteers MUST be aged 18 or over.
