    I care for my grandma and work have a family etc. when my hours at work were changed and it meant I could not always be there we got a social services assessment, they provide carers that her AA pays for and she pays the rest. I still do most of the caring around work but where I can't her AA Pays for this.

    You can seek a part time job, and then look for full time (or another part time) work whilst in employment.
