Carers Leeds celebrates diversity and strives to be an equal, diverse and inclusive organisation. We welcome applications from all sections of the community. Groups currently under-represented in our workforce include people from ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, younger and older workers, men and transgender people.

Established in 1996, Carers Leeds is a charity that provides information, advice and support to unpaid adult and parent carers across our city. This includes our Advice Line, carers support groups, one to one support and support in hospitals. Some of our services are universal – open to all carers – and some are targeted at specific groups of carers. Our services are provided to all communities throughout Leeds.

We work in partnership with others to deliver our service and to influence them to act to benefit unpaid carers. This involves those working in health and social care and employers. We use what unpaid carers tell us about their experiences and what matters to them, to help create change at a local and national level.
