beneficial to maintain a job in order to have a break from caring.

If you receive Carers Allowance you can also earn a certain amount
without it affecting the allowance. For details of ICA, see Benefits for
Carers.
Alternatively, you may wish to consider volunteering, which can give the
benefits of getting you out of the house as well as being useful when applying
for jobs. See Voluntary Work.
For information and advice about education and training opportunities for
employment, see Education.
If
you want to investigate employment opportunities for the person you care for,
contact the Disability Employment Advisor at your local Jobcentre (see
addresses above).
