The hours are flexible, you can do as little as one event a year or more according to what suits you. You can also identify events in your own area where you think it would be good to spread the word about support and we will provide you with the leaflets and equipment you need. 

ROLE :

Carers in Hertfordshire are looking for outgoing individuals who can raise awareness of carers in the community. We will train you to speak to people on a 1:1 basis at events in the local community. We will give you the skills to speak to people, find out if they are carers and refer them for support. We will give you posters to put up in your area about the support available. If you have time and wish to develop in the role, we can train you in giving presentations to local groups. 

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR :

If you enjoy speaking to people and are passionate about improving support for carers in your local area, we would love to hear from you. You will need to be able to lift a box. We do keep them light and we can provide a trolley or case too. 

WHAT CAN YOU GAIN FROM THIS OPPORTUNITY :

The opportunity to meet other people. Develop your skills and experience in talking to people and encouraging them to act on the advice and information given. Skills in setting up an attractive stall which will draw people in to talk you. Increase your confidence and skills for work.
