Employment Support for Carers
Employment Support
Please note that the Working for Carers program has now ended and is no longer accepting applications.
We are still happy to help carers in need of support through our Employment Support Services. Please contact the main office if you need support.
Motivating, inspiring and informing you
Looking for a new job starts with a positive approach. Our experienced advisors listen to you carefully in a confidential and non-judgmental atmosphere. We aim to give you access to free support, designed to meet your individual needs and delivered in your local area.
Creating opportunities for carers
In an effort to create flexible and sustainable employment, training and volunteering opportunities for carers, we engage with local businesses. We highlight them the benefits of employing carers and help them understand the need for carers in the workplace.

We appreciate that as a carer you may have been out of the job market for a while and may need the support to boost your confidence and update your job searching skills. Download our factsheets for carers seeking work and training. They have been developed as part of the Working for Carers project.
Working for Carers
It’s always rewarding to see an unpaid carer gaining confidence and positivity during the programme and secure a job that fits their schedule.
We have several success stories where carers are employed by smaller local or larger national companies, like Mehrdad Azadisoleimanieh who secured a job as a Selling and Service Partner at the high-end department store, John Lewis in Westfield White City.
