Help with work

If you have cancer, it can be difficult to know how to talk to your employer about it. We have advice and support to help as well as information about your rights at work.

Worries about work are very common for people affected by cancer. They may seem especially tough if you are self-employed or run your own business.

Balancing work and caring can be demanding. If you're finding it difficult to juggle work and support your loved one, you're not alone.

Macmillan at Work provides information, training and resources for employers to help them support staff affected by cancer.

The Work Support Service offers advice to people who are employed or self-employed and are affected by cancer.

If you’re an employer, you and your managers may not know how best to support an employee with cancer and your legal obligations. To help change this, we provide expert support including masterclass webinars and a free toolkit.
