Who Cares for the Caregivers at Work? with Charlie Beswick – carer, campaigner, and founder of Our Altered Life

1 in 7 UK employees is a carer — many without even realising it.

Some are looking after children with disabilities. Others are supporting partners with long COVID. Some are sandwiched between aging parents and teenage kids, juggling care on both sides. Some are doing all of the above.

In this powerful episode, we ask a vital question: who’s supporting them?

Charlie Beswick joins us to explore the invisible load carers carry, the stigma and silence that still surrounds them, and why it’s time for employers to stop tiptoeing around caregiving and start designing for it.

We talk flexible work, trust-based management, line manager training, and why carers aren’t a burden — they’re some of your most skilled, loyal, and emotionally intelligent people.

This one’s for anyone juggling care with career — and the leaders who want to keep them.
