At St Helens Carers Centre, we care because you do!

Carers Week 2026 will take place from Monday 8 to Sunday 14 June.  Thousands of individuals and organisations across the UK will come together to raise the profile of caring, highlight the challenges faced by unpaid carers, and recognise the vital contribution they make to families and communities.   The campaign highlights the contributions of unpaid carers, challenges stigma, and urges organisations and neighbourhoods to create environments where carers are understood and supported.   As well as our ongoing outreach to hidden carers and training to professionals, we will be holding several celebration events for Carers to get involved in and encourage you to book your places as soon as possible. All the events are free to Carers who are registered with us and wherever possible we will try and assist with alternative care so you can attend.

We are looking to recruit enthusiastic, caring and reliable Sessional Activity Youth Workers to join our bank staff team at the Young Carers Centre.

This rewarding role involves supporting children and young people during structured group activities, community-based sessions, workshops and occasional trips or residential experiences. Young carers access our services to take a break from their caring responsibilities, spend time with peers, build confidence, have fun and receive support in a safe and welcoming environment.
