Charlie Beswick is a speaker, trainer and consultant working internationally with organisations to help them recognise, support and retain unpaid carers in the workplace.
Unpaid carers are one of the most under-recognised groups in the UK workforce.
Many employees are balancing demanding roles alongside caring for disabled children, neurodivergent young people, ageing parents, partners or loved ones with long-term physical or mental health needs. Most don’t identify as carers — until they’re already under pressure.
When carers feel unseen or unsupported, organisations experience higher stress, absence and staff loss.
When carers feel understood and supported, organisations retain skilled, loyal and deeply committed people.
I’m Charlie Beswick — speaker, trainer, and consultant specialising in unpaid carers, SEND, and inclusive workplace culture.
Alongside my professional work, I bring over 20 years of lived experience as a parent carer, navigating complex systems while balancing work, family life and wellbeing. This lived perspective underpins everything I do.
My 16 years in teaching bring a powerful set of transferable skills: clarity, structure, adaptability and a strong focus on outcomes. I don’t just deliver sessions — I design work that leads to tangible change and lasting impact.
My work helps organisations move beyond awareness and into meaningful action — building confidence, compassion, and practical support that works in real workplaces.
