Carer Friendly Employment Resources

For Carers


Balancing work and caring can be quite a challenge. That's why Carers First has created resources aimed at helping and supporting carers to obtain the recognition and assistance they deserve in the workplace.

The Carer’s Passport is specifically designed to facilitate supportive conversations between a carer and their manager, allowing them to document the necessary support needed for the carer to successfully juggle both responsibilities.

For those looking to return to the workforce, our practical CVs and transferable skills guide helps carers highlight the invaluable skills they've developed through their caring experiences. 

For Employers


Carers First recognises that employers need helpful resources to provide appropriate support to employees who are carers. The Carer Friendly Employers booklet is designed to help employers identify and assist these employees, while ensuring legal obligations are met.

It offers practical guidance on retaining these incredible team members and explains how Carers First can help employers. By implementing flexible work arrangements for carers, employers can enhance staff retention, reduce recruitment and training costs, and boost productivity, no matter the size of your business.
