Expanded support | Working carer in need of an 'inclusive' employer? Should've gone to Specsavers…

Should’ve gone to Specsavers!

That is, if you’re a working carer looking for an employer committed to offering you the support you need to juggle work and caring responsibilities.

The optics retailer has pledged to expand its support and guidance for working through carers with the announcement of a partnership with Carers UK.

Specsavers will become a member of the non-profit’s ‘Employers for Carers’ scheme (EfC), aimed at providing working carers with resources ranging from e-learning modules on caring to toolkits for employees to look after their own wellbeing.
