Could you share the activities you love doing, your home or family life with an adult who needs extra support due to age, illness or disability?
We're looking for people to join our Shared Lives scheme as a carer. It's a rewarding way to support people to live their best life and you can offer as much or little time as you are able to.
You don't need any previous experience and we'll provide all the training you need.
Shared Lives has been a huge success nationally and the people living in Shared Lives schemes say they feel more settled, valued and make friends more easily than they do in more traditional types of care.
We want to make the scheme available to more people and you could help us by becoming a Bury Shared Lives carer in any of the three areas of support we offer (scroll down for more details).
If you have a caring nature, have previously cared for people or you're looking for a new paid opportunity at home, apply now to start a fresh journey that will enrich your life like never before.
Shared Lives is consistently rated the best quality and safest form of social care by the Care Inspectorate, CQC - you'll be joining Bury’s best kind of social care - something to be really proud of!
