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.

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.

  • 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.
