Our job should be something we can be proud of, but for too many of us jobs aren't working.
Work is all take and no give for care workers like Susie.

🎒Her pay just about covered her bills and the mortgage but she had to work extra shifts to cover the cost of school uniforms for her two growing boys
🎂Towards the end of the month, she usually ran short of money. The boys’ birthdays – just nine days apart – required especially careful planning over the summer
🛠️Susie also found it difficult to manage unexpected costs. When her boiler broke down last winter, she had no savings for the repair and had to rely on help from her ex-partner's family
