Carer Support Team

The carer support workers specialise in supporting carers of all ages including parent carers, young carers and adult carers.  The person that you look after may have a mental health need, learning disability, physical and sensory disability or may be an older, vulnerable person.

The role supports informal carers across the city. Parents/ informal carers are entitled to a carers conversation which involves a chat about the caring role and looks to offer information, advice, guidance and explore any services that may be available to access for the carer.

This can include -

  • Regular bulletins and updates
  • Signposting to places to go including specialist activities
  • Access to the short breaks caravan
  • Carer emergency cards
  • Benefits and financial support advice
  • Emotional support
  • Carer training
  • Carer Support Coffee and Chat groups

The service can be accessed directly, and self-referrals are welcome.
