Support in the workplace

If you are a working carer you may need support at different times. For example, you may want to talk to someone outside of your place of work to discuss your situation, or play a part in shaping services to help you and other working carers.

Herefordshire Carers Support works with, and for, carers to provide information and advice about carers’ rights and how to get support.

Did you know you may be eligible for paid time off to care for a close relative?

To find out more about what support is available to help you as a carer looking for work, or what schemes are available to help you as a carer in the workplace, look through the work focused leaflet or the support into work leaflet.

To find more out more about this please discuss with your line manager to see what support is available at your place of work. Your Terms & Conditions of Employment, Schedule A, page 2 set out these leave arrangements.
