What our members say

At Sainsbury’s we want to be the truly inclusive retailer where people love to work and shop. Caring is something that we are positive about supporting as a business – whether it’s colleagues caring for others or a colleague requiring support themselves. We will be flexible to support the needs of our colleagues and ensure development opportunities are available too, as we have many carers in different positions of the business, and we don’t see caring as a barrier to career progression."

Head of DEI and Wellbeing, Sainsbury’s

We want to make our workplace as inclusive as possible. Being a member of Employers for Carers allows us to understand the impact caring can have. As a growing number of people have caring responsibilities it’s important we enable colleagues to do their caring role alongside their work."

Chief Operating Officer and carers’ network sponsor, Financial Ombudsman Service

The amount of useful material in the Digital Resources is fantastic. As carers, we’re often bombarded with pamphlets and information, and it’s difficult to know what’s relevant for our individual needs. The Carers UK library of info presents things simply and in a digestible way. Particularly in the early days of being a carer – it’s a very emotional time so it’s not easy to be rational and think clearly."

Senior Human Resources Consultant, Centrica

In developing our Carer’s Charter, we have received considerable support and guidance from Carers UK which includes the Employers for Carers offering. This has given us valuable information to help us to design a Carer’s Charter enabling line managers to provide valuable support to working carers.”
