Julie Baker

Job Role: Charity Administrator and Sessional Support worker

Working from the charity HQ, my gig involves being the data wizard, greeting new families, checking in on our awesome beneficiaries, and making sure the young carers have all they need for their sessions. Before joining the Kool Carers crew, I spent 19 years moulding young minds in science education. In my education days, I came across various groups of kids facing challenges, but nothing hit home like the world of young carers. It took facing my own health battles to truly grasp the incredible responsibilities these children bear. I’m lucky to have a very supportive family including my husband, a daughter in publishing and a son who’s my rock, supporting me through thick and thin.
