Summary

We are looking for passionate, committed and enthusiastic individuals who are invested in carers' needs.

Detailed description

Carers in Hertfordshire provides advice, information and support to unpaid carers - people looking after someone who is elderly, disabled, has a physical or mental illness or who misuses drugs or alcohol.

Ensuring Hertfordshire's carers are identified, supported and stay well, is at the heart of our work. We give carers a voice with opportunities to meet other carers. We also enable carers to share their views or experiences with those providing or planning health and social care services in Hertfordshire.

We support carers of all ages - children and adults - if they live, work or care in Hertfordshire. Our services are provided free to carers.

As a voluntary position (non remunerated though reasonable expenses will be claimable), Trustees are tasked with supporting the senior management team and Chief Executive to manage the strategic direction and finances of the organisation ensuring that we deliver a range of support services to unpaid Carers throughout Hertfordshire in a sustainable manner and which has a lasting and positive effect on caring roles.
