Are you a Carer looking after a family member, partner or friend in need of help because
they are ill, frail or have a disability? Are you juggling work and caring,
looking to return to work, or hoping to re-train or learn a new skill?
If so Action for Carers and Employment may be able to help you. ACE (Surrey) provides specialist support, information and advocacy for Carers, and former Carers, in relation to employment, training and leisure activities. Who We Are ACE is a service provided by Action for Carers (Surrey) an independent charity which has been raising awareness of the needs and concerns of Carers since the early 1990's. It is a non profit making organisation led by Carers. What We Do If you are hoping to return to work after a prolonged absence we can support you through the process - from identifying your goals and helping you to build up your confidence, to acquiring the necessary skills and applying for jobs. Sometimes becoming a volunteer can be a good stepping stone and we can help you find out about suitable opportunities. If you are struggling to cope while juggling work and care, we can provide you with support, inform you of your employment rights and provide information on flexible working. Or perhaps you want to find a new leisure interest, learn a new skill or retrain. If this is the case we can work with you to identify appropriate courses in your area and, in some cases, we can also assist with seeking funding towards the cost of your chosen course. We can provide information by telephone or if you prefer, we can arrange for a member of our team to meet you at one of our offices, in your own home or at a mutually convenient location. All our services are FREE and confidential. ACE works closely with local statutory and voluntary organisations to raise awareness of Carers needs, and actively encourages employers to adopt Carer friendly working practices.
