What we offer

What is working carers coaching?

Working carers coaching is a specialised form of support aimed at employees who balance their professional responsibilities with caregiving duties outside of work.

Caring responsibilities come in a myriad of forms, extending from the elderly to children with disabilities, each presenting its unique set of challenges and demands.

Coaching for carers provides them with the tools, strategies, and emotional support needed to manage both roles effectively. It focuses on developing skills such as time management, stress reduction, and communication, enabling carers to navigate the challenges of juggling work and caregiving responsibilities.

By recognising the unique challenges faced by working carers and offering tailored coaching, organisations demonstrate a commitment to their employees’ overall wellbeing, contributing to a more inclusive, supportive, and resilient workplace culture.
