Our purpose: MYTIME Young Carers is fighting to level the playing field for young carers. Young carers have been hidden in society for too long, with the vast majority juggling a huge amount of responsibility unsupported. At MYTIME we recognise and celebrate the incredible young people who do so much to support those that they care for. We believe that young carers should have access to the support, the friendships, and the opportunities every child deserves.
Job Overview: MYTIME is a rapidly growing organisation with enormous ambition. We’re an incredibly close-knit team so culture fit is everything for us! Your experience is important, but it will be a close second.
