Challenges to Change

Role Description

Role Title:  Volunteer peer advocate
Responsible to: Peer advocacy project coordinator
Location: East Dunbartonshire
Hours: Flexible
Expenses: Will be reimbursed as and when requested

The Role

A peer advocate is someone who has personal experience as an unpaid carer and is ready to use that experience to make a difference in the lives of others.

As a peer advocate with Carers Link, you will play a vital role in supporting unpaid carers across East Dunbartonshire. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an innovative peer-led approach to carer support.
Your insight and lived experience will help carers navigate challenges, access respite and social care services and find the confidence to have their voices heard.

We know that many carers struggle to seek support – not because they don’t need it, but because they lack the time, energy or confidence. That’s where you come in. Your understanding can help break down barriers and ensure carers feel supported, understood and empowered.
