Role
Carers of East Lothian is the local organisation supporting adults who care for family and friends. We have an excellent reputation, recently gaining recognition through the Carers Trust ‘Excellence for Carers’ Award and have recently secured the contract to deliver adult carer services across East Lothian for an initial two-year period and a total period of up to six years, to 2031. We are a Carer Positive Exemplary employer, as well as being Disability Confident Committed and a Living Wage employer.
Job Purpose
This role is all about supporting unpaid carers at East Lothian Community Hospital. You’ll help carers feel recognised, informed, and involved from the moment their loved one is admitted to the ward through to discharge and beyond. Working closely with hospital staff and the wider care team, you’ll make sure carers are part of the conversation, understand what’s happening, and know where to turn for help once the person they care for leaves hospital. Your work will help ensure smoother, more supported transitions from hospital to home or rehabilitation.
How to Apply
Closing date is Sunday 30th November 2025, and we expect interviews to be held w/c 8th December 2025.
