Work and career

Managing work and care can be very challenging, so it’s important to find out about your rights and strike the right balance. 

You may wish to make a flexible working request to help you combine work with your caring responsibilities.

Sometimes working and carrying out your caring responsibility can be quite a juggling act. But taking time off from work when you need to prioritise someone’s caring needs shouldn’t be a source of stress or worry.  Carers UK explains your rights as an employee and taking time off work.
