FSW Family Support Worker

Glasgow South Carers Centre provides services to unpaid family Carers, who look after a family member or friend who cannot manage alone due to illness or disability, including Young Carers and their families. Applicants must have an understanding of and commitment to the needs of carers, have excellent written and oral communication skills, have experience of support planning, providing an information and advice service, planning and delivery of services to support carers, have strong admin, communication and organisational skills and have a knowledge and understanding of the policy drivers for unpaid carers, especially in relation to the Carers Act. Although experience is desirable, a willingness and commitment to learning is key, underpinned by strong admin, communication, and organisational skills. Working alongside a team of Carers Support Workers and directly with Carers, the Family Support Worker should have a relevant qualification in health or social care and/or work experience appropriate for this post. Candidates will need an understanding of the issues carers face, experience of outcome focussed case management using person-centred, strength-based support planning to enable Carers to manage their caring role and maintain their own health and wellbeing., None specified
