Opportunities with Northamptonshire Carers
Northamptonshire Carers was formed in 1992 and is an independent local charity that is part of Carers Trust for Carers national network of Carers Centres and services. We are a countrywide service offering support to Carers and Young Carers. We are staffed by people who understand the physical and emotional strain that looking after someone can involve as well as the pleasure it can bring. Having a person to talk to and having rights explained can often help a carers situation. Listening to the experiences of carers enables us to help. Northamptonshire Carers offer a comprehensive range of services, including telephone support, carers cafes and specific health conditions support groups to carers living in Northamptonshire. Northamptonshire Carers aim to offer a comprehensive support service to Carers within our contracted geographical areas and in collaboration or close partnership with organisations that complement the service we deliver. We recognise the vital contribution Carers make to society and we will work to empower Carers in improving their health, wellbeing and quality of life, alongside raising awareness with all stakeholders with the aim to create Carer Friendly Communities. We recognise the diversity of our communities and are committed to supporting all Carers. The organisation is Carer-led and our developments will be a response to Carers future needs.
