Job Description

Our Shared Lives carers are passionate and dedicated about the care and and support they provide in the community. By offering time and encouragement, carers are able to develop long-term, rewarding relationships with the person they welcome into their family and home.

We carefully match the Shared Lives carer with the person requiring support to make sure the arrangements working for everyone. All potential carers go through a rigorous assessment process to ensure the safety and wellbeing of everyone involved.

Shared Lives carers are self employed and work from home. They receive payments depending on the amount of help and support they provide, as well as the level of need of the person they support.

Shared lives carers come from all backgrounds and bring a wide range of life and work experience with them. Its not just about having previous caring experience, what matters is that you have the right personal skills and qualities to welcome and support someone in your home.

There are, however, some common criteria that schemes need you to meet:

  • To be at least 18 years old
  • To have a spare bedroom big enough for a person to live in (if you are having people stay overnight)
  • To be a full time resident in the UK or have leave to remain
  • To be able to give the time to care for a person

Commitment, motivation and enthusiasm are more important than formal caring qualifications as training will be provided.

Could you offer full-time, weekend, or respite support? If you are looking for a career change, or would like a different work/life balance, and you have space in your home and hear we would love to hear from you.

Contact us today using the enquiry form to learn more about Shared Lives and the role you could play.

Yes, you can work and be a shared lives carer. Shared lives carers are self employed, so they can work other jobs or have other commitments alongside their shared lives responsibilities. The amount of time dedicated to shared lives care can be flexible, allowing individuals to balance it with other work or commitments.
