Do you have a strong connection with the Chagossian community and are passionate about supporting carers and making a real difference?

We’re offering a rewarding opportunity to join our Community Team as a Chagossian Carer Wellbeing Worker. This vital role focuses on supporting family and friend carers within the Chagossian community in Crawley, helping them access the information, guidance, and support they need.
