Caring Responsibilities
The following sites and organisations provide information and advice about your rights and help with finding opportunities if you have any caring responsibilities.
The Government has put in place a 鈥楬appy to talk flexible working鈥� strapline which employers can add to their job descriptions to promote flexible working so look out for these when applying for jobs.
The Government is aiming to lead by example on this initiative so Government departments could be worth looking into for flexible working opportunities. Universities, larger organisations and the public sector can also sometimes have more flexible working arrangements on offer which could help juggle a career and caring responsibilities.
