Make a Difference Where It Matters Most

We are looking for a passionate, proactive, and dynamic Community Wellbeing Worker to support unpaid carers in our community. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is committed to improving outcomes for carers by working in a preventative, strengths-based way, helping individuals stay well, connected, and resilient before crisis points are reached.

About the Role

As a Community Wellbeing Worker, you will play a vital role in supporting carers to maintain their health and wellbeing. You will take a proactive and innovative approach, identifying early signs of need and providing tailored support that empowers carers to thrive.

This role focuses on prevention and early intervention, working alongside carers to reduce isolation, improve resilience, and enhance quality of life, rather than waiting for challenges to escalate.

Key Responsibilities

We are seeking someone who can:

• Provide person-centred support to carers, recognising their individual strengths, needs, and goals
• Take a preventative approach, identifying early risks and putting support in place before issues escalate
• Work dynamically and flexibly across community settings, meeting carers where they are
• Connect carers with local services, peer support, and community resources
• Deliver wellbeing interventions such as social groups, one-to-one support, and practical guidance
• Promote self-care, resilience, and independence among carers
• Collaborate closely with health, social care, and voluntary sector partners
• Support carers to develop sustainable coping strategies and long-term wellbeing plans

About You

We are seeking someone who is:

• Empathetic, motivated, and solution-focused
• Skilled in building relationships and engaging diverse communities
• Confident working in a preventative, early-intervention model
• Able to think creatively and respond to changing needs in a dynamic environment
• Experienced (or interested) in supporting carers, communities, or vulnerable groups
• A strong communicator with excellent organisational skills

A background in health, social care, community development, or a related field is desirable, but we welcome applicants with transferable skills and a passion for making a difference.

What We Offer

• A rewarding opportunity to have a real impact on carers’ lives
• A supportive and inclusive team environment
• Ongoing training and professional development
• Flexible working options (where applicable)
• Access to wellbeing support and staff benefits

Why Join Us?

This is more than a job, it's an opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking, preventative service that values innovation, compassion, and community connection. You will help shape how support is delivered, ensuring carers receive the right help at the right time in the right place.
