Caring, Working, Living is a project in Greater Manchester to support carers who are looking to return to paid employment, and target small and medium employers to make their recruitment and employment practices accessible to carers.

The Caring, Working, Living project can offer:

• Information about agencies in the local area that provide support with job searching
• Financial support towards the cost of job searching, for example towards the cost of care, travel to and employment support activity, and other interview costs such as travel or clothing
• Information about employers offering workplace visits, work trials and placements
• Support through the Facebook page

To be eligible for this support you must: live in Greater Manchester, be either a parent or carer who has been out of work for at least 12 months because of caring responsibilities and be looking to return to work.

You can access the project through self-referral by phone: 0161 277 1000 or by email: returnersfund@gmcvo.org.uk
