This guide is for anyone who is working while also caring for adult partner, relative or friend with cancer. It aims to help carers cope with work issues they may face because of the impact of the caring role on their working life.

The guide begins by setting out facts and information about cancer and about cancer care, and then goes on to address work-related issues, including:

  • information on employment rights 
  • suggestions about flexible working 
  • how to get support at work 
  • tips on talking about cancer with your employer and colleagues.
It includes a further information section covering useful organisations, publications, websites, and frequently asked questions.
