About Carers’ Resource
This is an exciting opportunity to join Carers’ Resource, a growing and thriving charity supporting people across Bradford and North Yorkshire.
We provide a wide range of support to unpaid carers, including adults and young people, who look after a relative, friend or neighbour who could not manage without their help due to frailty, illness or disability. We work alongside carers to help them feel supported, informed and confident in their caring role.
Alongside our dedicated carer services, we also provide a number of services within hospitals and the wider community.
Our Home from Hospital teams work across Bradford District and North Yorkshire, supporting people to feel more confident and comfortable when returning home after a hospital stay. We help make the transition home as smooth as possible, supporting people to rebuild their confidence and independence and, where possible, helping to prevent hospital readmission.
Our Hospital Carer Navigator service supports family members and friends when someone they care about is admitted to Airedale General Hospital or Bradford Royal Infirmary. Our dedicated team provides information, guidance and practical support to people who are caring for a relative or friend during their hospital stay, helping them navigate what can often be a challenging and uncertain time.
At Carers’ Resource, we are passionate about making a positive difference to the lives of carers and the people they support. Joining our team is an opportunity to be part of an organisation that values compassion, partnership and the difference that good support can make.
