Meet the team

Hi, we’re the Young Carers team at Carers in Hertfordshire. We’re here to make sure young carers like you know that you are not alone.

Some of the team’s job is to come and visit you at home to find out what is important to you and how we might be able to help you. You’ll see some of us at the activities and events that we run through the school holidays. We are all out and about quite a lot, and love chatting to young carers.

Here’s the team:

Emy

“I’m a Young Carers Coordinator. I’m one of the team who comes and chats to you at home to find out how things are for you and how I might be able to help.”

Naomi

“Like Emy, I also do home visits with young carers. I’m here to provide you a listening ear and work together with you to make things easier.”

Gemma

“I’m the Young Carers Manager. I manage the service and the team, but have worked in other jobs in the team before. You’ll still see me at events during the holidays, otherwise I’d miss seeing you all!”

Amy

“I’m the Co-production Lead. I organise the activities and work with the Young Carers Council to plan events like the YC Conference. Look forward to seeing you at an activity soon!”

Laura

“I work on different projects in the team so my job is quite varied! At the moment I help to produce the Young Carers newsletter, and I am also offering play therapy to some young carers.”

Jane

“I’m one of the Young Carers Administrators. I help with events, so you’re likely to talk to me on the phone about activity bookings.”

Julie

“…and I’m the other Young Carers Administrator who helps keep the team running! I send out a lot of the letters, but you might speak to me on the phone if you call the office.”
