People are matched based on shared interests lifestyles and sense of humour. Shared lives offer a rewarding and flexible way to support someone in your family home.
The people we support attend day service work placement volunteer or have day support from another carer Monday to Friday. You will be responsible for supporting an individual who is carefully matched to your family with daily living skills on a daytoday basis.

The role is very flexible and you would only provide day support when you are available to do so. This is not a domiciliary care position and this is not rostered. Many support bookings are for a minimum of 3 hours. As a shared lives carer you could support People with Learning disabilities Autism Mental health issues ABI Mum and baby Dementia or people who need support after living in a Domestic Violence environment.
