Become a Shared Lives carer
Overview
Being a Shared Lives carer is a rewarding and fulfilling role where you will be making a positive difference to someone's life.
As a Shared Lives carer, you will share your home, family, and community life with someone who needs extra support, to help them develop the skills to live independently.
It is a flexible, paid way of working and isn't a regular job in care.
Some people move in with their Shared Lives carer, while others are regular daytime visitors. Some combine daytime and overnight visits.
You can both get to know each other before hand, so they can choose you and you can choose them.
