What our adviser says:

"One of the things that attracted me to the role was that, as an adviser in a small organisation, you get a real insight into how the work of your team influences and informs policy work. It's a part of the job I enjoy the most and I've learnt so much from this. In larger organisations I wouldn't have this level of exposure to my colleagues working in other departments – you really get to see the full circle of the work Care Rights UK does.” Jo Holoway, Care and Support Adviser at Care Rights UK
