Male carers Project - We need you!

Are you a husband, partner, dad, uncle, nephew, brother or son? Do you pay bills, give medicine, do laundry, give emotional support, keep appointments, wash bodies, all regularly or look after a loved one in their home? Then you’re a carer. Look at it this way, if you didn’t do what you did for that person could they manage on their own?

What makes our job special

Breaking stereotypes

Historically, caregiving has been considered a "woman's job". However, more and more men are stepping up to take on this role, breaking gender stereotypes and contributing to a more equitable society.

Positive male role models

Male caregivers serve as positive role models for their children, showing them that caring for others is not just a job for women but an important responsibility for all individuals.

Meeting unique needs

Male caregivers can provide a unique perspective and connection to individuals who may feel more comfortable with a caregiver of the same gender.

"We couldn't live without male carers"

As male caregivers, we understand that you may face unique challenges and experiences while providing care. This group aims to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can connect with others who understand what you're going through and share your own experiences.

Here are some of the benefits of working as a Carer

  • Job security
  • Convenient working hours
  • Caring for people
  • Personal satisfaction

The group is open to all men aged 25 and above

The majority of the time, being a male carer is exactly the same as being a female carer. It involves doing the work that a disabled or elderly person needs you to do so that they can lead as independent a life as possible. This might include helping somebody to take a bath, helping them to get into their car to go to work, getting their medication out of its packaging, or doing their weekly shop. A carer’s role is to make their clients’ lives as unimpaired by their age or disabilities as possible.
We hope to see you soon and look forward to building a strong community of male carers in Chichester.
