Notice Description

Carers Trust is inviting suitable applicants to tender to undertake an audit, analysis and review of documentation (finance and participant files) for the Working for Carers project, ensuring robust evidence, controls and recording-keeping are in place, and create guidance and recommendations for Carers Trust. Working for Carers is led by Carers Trust and delivered in partnership with four carer-focused organisations in London (Carers Trust Network Partners). The project is jointly funded by The National Lottery Community Fund and the European Social Fund (ESF) as part of the Building Better Opportunities (BBO) programme.

Ensure all evidence is filed on CharityLog for participants that have exited the project by 30 September 2020. Ensure all evidence for finance claims and participant files are stored in a meaningful way, so they can be easily retrieved. Develop guidance for Carers Trust on evidence stored for the project, including a summary of changes to funders' requirements. Identify compliance risks for the project and provide recommendations on key tasks required to continue to meet compliance requirements within the project between April 2021 and September 2022. The successful applicant will work closely with the Working for Carers Programme Lead at Carers Trust and the project teams in the four Hubs (Network Partners).
