Young Carers Coordinator

Make a real difference to young carers across Perth & Kinross.

Are you experienced in leading or supervising a team in a support, education, or community setting? Do you understand the challenges faced by young carers and families? Are you able to build strong partnerships with schools, agencies, and community organisations? Are you interested in securing funding to enhance the lives of young carers?

The Fundraising Manager will be there to support you to succeed.

If you’re saying YES to these, this could be the perfect role for you and we’d love to hear from you.

• Manage a dedicated team — providing supervision, appraisals, development support, and fostering a positive, values led culture.

• Strong communication, organisation, and report writing skills.
