About Carers Bucks
At Carers Bucks we are committed to making a lasting and positive difference in the lives of unpaid carers across Buckinghamshire - from children as young as five, to adults supporting loved ones, through physical or mental illness, frailty, disability or addiction. We understand that caring can impact a person’s health, wellbeing and future opportunities and we are here to change that.
Our vision is that every unpaid carer in Buckinghamshire feels recognised, respected and supported in their role – so they can access the right support, at the right time, in a way that works for them – regardless of age, circumstance and cultural or socio-economic background.
Our team is at the heart of everything we do. We foster a positive, supportive working culture where wellbeing matters, and professional development is encouraged and celebrated.
Our values reflect our core principles and culture. They guide how we engage with service users and how we work as a team. We are:
Kind We understand the challenges carers face. With real compassion and empathy we are able to build confidence and resilience in both carers and colleagues.
Inclusive We adapt our services to meet the diverse needs of all carers, making sure they feel seen, supported and empowered in their role.
Collaborative We work together – with carers, partners and one another – to listen, learn and improve outcomes.
Innovative We are curious to find better ways to support carers. We are open to new ideas and committed to improving what we do.
Reliable We are informed, trustworthy and confidential. We do what we say we will - every time.
