The University of Nottingham Staff Carers’ Network, in partnership with social enterprise Coaching for Unpaid Carers, are running a series of coaching workshops and 1-2-1 coaching sessions for unpaid carers (anyone who provides help or support to friend, partner or family member who couldn’t otherwise cope).

Workshops and 1-2-1 coaching sessions are free to attend but must be booked in advance by following the links provided below.

1-2-1 Coaching

Whatever your goal as an employee with caring responsibilities, we can help you reach it with 1-2-1 coaching. Your coach will support and encourage you, give you space to think things through and help you create an achievable action plan.

Places are limited and allocated on a first come, first served basis. To register an interest in the 1-2-1 coaching sessions (up to three sessions) please complete this form.

To qualify you must attend at least one workshop. NB: if you have a valid reason for non-attendance you can also register an interest.
