I'm working while caring

It can be hard balancing the demands of caring for a loved one with cancer with your own work commitments. Working carers can receive support in a range of ways, from organising short term respite care for your loved one to talking to your employer about flexible working arrangements. For more information, see:

Working while caring - on balancing your work and caring responsibilities
Caring for yourself - covers ways to cope and stay healthy
Cancer Affects the Carer Too - a podcast sharing the highs and lows of being a carer and how you can look after your own needs.
