## Description

Brent Shared Lives is seeking compassionate people to open their homes and support adults who need care and support. By becoming a Shared Lives Carer, you can make a real difference to someone's life while receiving payment for your role.

Brent is a tremendously vibrant London borough where the iconic arch of Wembley Stadium dominates the skyline. Spanning both inner and outer London, it is a borough of huge contrasts in terms of its economic, environmental, ethnic and social make up.

**The Post**

Brent is seeking compassionate, committed, and community-minded individuals to join our dedicated network of Shared Lives Carers.

**Make a real difference in someone’s life – and your community.**

Shared Lives carers offer a safe, welcoming home for adults who need support to live independently. Whether it’s short breaks or long-term living, you provide companionship, support, and care in a family environment.

Shared Lives Carers support adults aged 18 and over who need extra support to live independently. This may include people with:

- Learning disabilities

- Physical disabilities

- Mental health needs

- Dementia

- Support needs after hospital discharge

You might provide care for a few hours, a weekend, or move in long-term – it’s flexible and shaped around you!

Brent Shared Lives carers are paid for their time and expenses, and for many, this role has become a full-time career.

We provide full training, regular support and opportunities to meet other carers.

For many carers, they find this is more than a job – it’s a way of life that’s deeply rewarding.

**The Person**

Our carers are dedicated to making a difference to the lives of those they support.

You don’t need formal care experience – just the right values and a willingness to share your home and some of your passions. To become a carer, you must:

- be at least 18 years old

- live in the UK full-time or have leave to remain

- have time and space to support someone either full or part-time

- have a spare bedroom (if offering overnight support)

- be supported by your household.

- Caring, patient, and supportive

- Committed to providing consistent care and stability

You will be asked to complete an assessment, which includes background checks, interviews, training, and home visits.

**What We Offer:**

- Earn a generous amount of £437.68 - £596.18 per adult (depending on needs and experience)

- Free training and continuous professional development

- Peer support groups and networking opportunities

- Invitations to social events, celebration days, and recognition awards
