Description

Islington Council invites suitable expressions of interest from suppliers for Islington Carers Hub, the borough's support service for Carers (also known as informal carers, family carers or unpaid carers).
This service will be delivered using an outcome based service specification to allow the successful provider the flexibility to meet the varied needs of Islington Carers using their unique expertise. The successful provider will still be required to deliver some key outputs as outlined in the specifications such as having a comprehensive information; advice and signposting offer; supporting Carers to take a break; undertaking Carer Assessments on behalf of the Local Authority; duties around Carers Week and Carer Rights Day; and taking on a strategic leadership role for Carers for the borough.
The provider will be required to have an office base in Islington for staff to operate from and physical site for Carers to access. The provider will work flexibly so that Carers can access Hub services digitally, in a wide range of community venues, and outside usual office hours.
