The University of Cambridge has launched a new initiative in collaboration with the organisation My Family Care to deliver family-friendly backup care to employees.
The 12-month pilot scheme will provide employees with access to emergency childcare and a network of adult and eldercare across the country. The services also include:
- Emergency childcare: to find nannies, nurseries and childminders at short notice.
- School holiday cover: to provide access to holiday clubs nationwide.
- Back-up adult and eldercare: to find domiciliary care for elderly relatives, or an adult dependant.
Employees can register with the My Family Care Work+Family website.
Full terms and conditions, together with the relevant costs to University employees are available online. The website also provides a wide range of resources to support employees with their caring responsibilities.
