Employment help for people who have caring responsibilities
We want to help you to get the best out of your life, but we recognise that you have a responsibility to someone else, that might be young children or a family member that relies on you.
Have you forgotten who you are because you're too busy looking after everyone else? Maybe you feel like you're 'just a mum'. Is time for yourself really tight?
We know you still have dreams! We are specialists in breaking down barriers to help you achieve your personal goals.
We can help you maximise that bit of time you have available for yourself through:
- exploring additional support available for you and those you care for
- defining your personal goals
- accessing childcare
- being more socially included - this might be a group or activity
- accessing wellbeing support or activities
- making plans for the future, even if you're not ready to make a change right now
- checking and understanding benefits
- improving your existing skills or training
- regaining your confidence
- looking at work or volunteering options
There's no hurry, we'll take it at your pace, talking to us is the first step to a brighter future. Get in touch and let us help you make a change.
