    Working for Carers North East can help you get into employment, find a job and balance your caring role with work.

    Even if you’ve never had a job before, their team are happy to meet with you one-to-one and help you to find work that suits you and your caring role.

    Carers can get support to:

    • Build your confidence
    • Identify your skills (including your transferable skills from your caring role)
    • Understand your rights at work as a carer
    • Find and apply for a job
    • Access training opportunities
    • Develop your interview skills and practice mock interviews
    • Write applications and CVs
    • Balance your caring role with work
    • And lots more…

    Their team can help you find a job suitable for you and your caring role. The support is free, fully accessible and flexible for carers aged 18+ thinking about getting into work.

    Support is available for all carers living in the North East – carers in Newcastle can access employment help from Newcastle Carers.

    Professionals and employers can get free and specialist support to become inclusive, carer-friendly workplaces.

    The Working for Carers project is a partnership between seven carer support organisations across the North East. It is funded by the UK Government and The North East Mayoral Strategic Authority.
