Join Camden’s Borough Partnership Carers Board!

Have you given up your time for free, and taken on additional responsibilities, to support someone you know? Are you a resident of Camden, or is the person you care for a resident of Camden? Are you interested in influencing how local services support carers?

Camden is looking for three Board members and a Co-Chair who are carers, who would be interested in joining the Borough Partnership Carers Board. This is a new Board which aims to improve and coordinate support for carers in Camden.

As part of Camden’s commitment to better recognise and support unpaid carers, the Carers Action Plan was launched in July 2024, which was developed with carers. The Board’s main job is to oversee the plan and make sure organisations are working together alongside carers to deliver it. The Board will consist of organisations and agencies from the NHS, the Council and the voluntary sector, and will link with key decision-making bodies.

By joining us on the Board, we will have a great opportunity to work together to shape an evolving plan that reflects the needs of you as carers and the broader community. Camden is a unique and diverse Borough, and we are keen to ensure that carers on the Board reflect this diversity in our community and have a range of experiences of caring. If you believe in the power of people and partnerships to achieve meaningful change, we invite you to be part of this exciting journey.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with Octavia Aronne and Alice Beaumont.

The Expression of Interest deadline for these roles has now closed, and we will be updating this page soon.

As there are a limited number of opportunities for roles, we will be offering conversations on 25 and 26 February to people who have met criteria that carers have asked for in their Board representatives and Co-chair. We will be sharing further involvement and co-production activities as the Plan progresses.
