We know #UnpaidCarers might have to take time out of their education or careers to care for someone, and when they're ready to return the Civil Service wants to welcome them and their wealth of skills.
Thanks to @CarersTrust and everyone who joined us to chat yesterday!

Today, Carers Trust held a webinar that focussed on supporting #UnpaidCarers into employment #CarersWeek

It was hosted with the Civil Service to promote the Going Forward into Employment scheme @CS_GFIE
