We are Sheffield Young Carers
SYC is a registered charity that has been supporting young people since 1997.
We provide one-to-one and group support to children and young people between the ages of 8 and 25. We also help the families of young carers and young people affected by drug/alcohol use in their family.
Young carers look after family members who have disabilities, long term physical or mental health problems, and/or issues with drugs or alcohol.
We’re hiring for 2 roles!
Join our team and make a difference to the lives of young people and families.
Recruiting for 2 roles, we are looking for a highly motivated Family Engagement Worker and a Supporter Engagement Officer.
Both roles are permanent, subject to funding.
Closing date for applications: 1pm on Friday 16th April 2021
Free tool for schools and colleges
This vital tool helps staff identify new and hidden young carers through a clear step-by-step guide.
The Young Carers Identification Guide is a brand new tool produced by young carers involved in the ‘National Voice’ campaign.
Help us support young carers
With over 7,300 young carers in Sheffield, we simply can’t do it alone.
The good news is that you can help us, by supporting young carers too.
Access resources and services for young people
Everyone can help young people who are caring or who are affected by substance misuse in their family, by connecting them with the resources and services they need.
