Carers in Hertfordshire is a well-respected, independent, carer-led charity that works to ensure that all Hertfordshire’s unpaid family and friend carers are recognised, valued and supported in their caring role, have the opportunity for a life outside of caring, and can exercise a collective voice in the county.

Do you share our values? Read them at this link. You can also read more about how we help unpaid carers at this link.

We are pleased to be an accredited Living Wage Employer. This means that every member of staff in our organisation earns not just the minimum wage but the Living Wage.

The Living Wage is an hourly rate set independently and updated annually, based on the cost living in the UK.

We believe that every member of staff deserves a Living Wage. You can find out more about the Living Wage by visiting www.livingwage.org.uk.
