Shared Lives Carer

Are you a caring person?

Could you support a person with care and support needs and include them as part of your family?

Have you ever thought about supporting someone in your home?

Then we could have the perfect opportunity for you! Your commitment can be flexible depending on the match and type of support you want to offer! Generous allowances are paid dependent on the level of support provided!

You could support someone from the age of 16 upwards with varying levels of need, they may just require low level support around finances and developing positive relationships, to full support with personal care and medication and anything in between.

The person could have mental health issues, learning disabilities, dementia or age- related problems they could be a young person leaving care and needing support to become independent.

You would go through a thorough assessment process and your skills, abilities and level of support you could offer would be matched with the person who you would be able to share your interests and lifestyle.

You can offer anything from few hours a day to, if you have a spare bedroom, offering a couple of nights for a short break or a longer- term placement, we are actively recruiting carers, it would be great to hear from you.
