Shared lives care is delivered locally through registered shared lives carers. It is based on shared interests, lifestyles and a sense of humour. It feels like an ordinary life for someone who needs support - and doesn’t feel like a ‘job’ for you. Find out more about how to become a shared lives carer and the support you’ll receive if you are registered with us.
