The Carer Friendly Tick Award is an accreditation, comprising of four key areas: Communities, Education, Employers and Health. The award is assessed by carers and intended to be simple to understand and implement. It takes only a few steps but makes a real difference for carers. It is designed to help those who are unsure of how to identify and support carers in your setting or, for those already supporting carers, a way to recognise your great work.
We are looking for carers with lived experience to assess applications predominately in health and employers. We will provide guidance and support on how to assess these applications.
You will be working from home and a computer will be needed.
What you will do
- Applications will be sent via email with all supporting evidence and feedback form.
- Ensure applications meet the criteria for each of the Carer Friendly Tick Award standards.
- Provide constructive feedback and highlight any areas of good practice on form supplied.
Your commitment
- A willingness to attend training and supervision and support meetings as agreed.
- This role is an ad-hoc basis and demand will depend on the volume of applications received. We appreciate that time is precious, and you will be asked in advance if you are happy to receive an application.
Benefits to the volunteer
- Gain new skills, both practically and personally.
- The satisfaction of knowing you are making an important and valued difference to someone’s life/the work of Caring Together Charity.
