Shared Lives Carer (Self-Employed) – A Different Way to Work in Care
We’re shining a spotlight on a unique and life-changing opportunity. Shared Lives Carers open their homes and their lives to support someone who needs help to live independently and be part of their community. It’s not just care — it’s about sharing everyday life, building relationships, and making a real difference.
A Shared Lives Carer is a self-employed individual who supports a person (or people) in their own home. This could be a long‑term arrangement, offering short breaks, or Shared Days. Shared Lives Carers are self‑employed people who take on an extraordinary role in their own home, supporting a person with eligible needs and enabling them to live a full, meaningful and independent life as part of the local community. As a Shared Lives Carer, you will be rewarded with good rates of pay, full training and support, and the satisfaction of making a huge difference to someone’s life.
