Hospital Based Work

Our new hospital based Carer Support Team are now operating from St Helens & Whiston Hospitals.

There are two Carer Support Officers and a specialist Carer Income Maximisation Officer  based on the dedicated Reception desk in the main foyer of St Helens Hospital.  The workers are employed by St Helens Carers Centre but as a result of partnership working have been embedded into the Hospital with a permanent base. 

The team work with several different departments to ensure all Carers are identified and treated as equal and expert care partners in the diagnosis, treatment and discharge of the person they care for.

The team are also there for any Carer who would like information, advice or referral to the local Carers Centre.  In addition, the Carer Income Maximisation Officer provides a specialist welfare benefits service on site to people caring for people nearing end of life or with terminal illness.
