Care2Work programme
What is the Care2Work Programme?
Care2Work is a free programme which helps carers (or recent carers) aged 50 and above to develop skills, gain qualifications and – if they wish – work towards employment. You can use your existing experience and gain work in health care, or totally change your career direction. The project is funded by the European Social Fund and London Councils, and is being run in partnership by three organisations: the Camden NHS Jobshop, Communities into Training and Employment (CITE) and the Holy Cross Centre Trust (HCCT)
Who can join the programme?
This programme can help you if you are:
- looking for opportunities to develop your skills and experience and make a change to your life
- aged 50 years or over
- unemployed, but not claiming Job Seekers Allowance.
- caring for someone or have recently had caring responsibilities. This could be a member of the family – young or old, or someone else. It could be a regular commitment or occasional caring responsibility
- living in the London Boroughs of Barnet, Brent, Camden or Islington
What does Care2Work offer?
The programme offers:
- qualifications
- access to jobs
- volunteering opportunities and work experience
- help with care responsibilites to allow carers the time to attend training
Every individual involved in the project will have an individualised programme developed for them to reflect what they want to achieve out of the Care2Work Programme.
