Notice Title

Services to support breaks for carers

Notice Description

East Lothian Health and Social Care Partnership (ELHSCP) recognises the need to dedicate resource to a community based short breaks service to support our unpaid carers to take breaks from caring. The Partnership is looking to work with organisations who would like to explore and offer solutions to delivering short breaks for carers.

Lot Information

Lot 1

ELHSCP's vision for carer support is that carers are able to access regular breaks, to look after and maintain their own health and well being, while continuing to care for their loved one. Where this need cannot be met by universal supports unpaid carers may be able to have a break by someone spending time with the cared for person in their own home or in the local community. This meets the carers needs while ensuring the cared for person also has a positive experience doing something they enjoy. ELHSCP already has Care at Home service providers who can offer some community support to accommodate carer breaks and day services are also being developed to offer these supports through the wider Community Transformation Agenda. Development of a new service solely offering Community support to allow breaks from caring will allow more flexibility and choice to carers. Services are required across East Lothian, including rural areas but proposals for locality approaches will be considered. Providers should be committed to delivering to the following principles: - Supporting people and unpaid carers - promoting independence and choice - improving and sustaining health and wellbeing - flexibility of service provision, responsive to how people feel on the day - the involvement of people with lived experience, having conversations with local people about their lives and their personal outcomes - making the best use of all resources and community supports. Interested providers should note interest in this notice and the Council may then contact you for further information as part of its market research process.
