Walsall, United Kingdom Camphill Village Trust Full time

Title:
**Shared Lives Carer - Do you have a spare bedroom? (work from home)**

Job description:
**Camphill Village Trust **are proud to announce we are working alongside **Walsall Council**, to further develop their **Shared Lives **Scheme and offer more choice to the residents of the Borough. As a national charity, we already support 70 Shared Lives households across Dudley, Wolverhampton, and the surrounding Black Country areas.

**Shared Lives** is a unique model of personalised support and accommodation, with a very strong track record of transforming lives, going back over many years. It is a unique and cost-effective alternative that can achieve better outcomes than other traditional forms of care. There are approximately 10,500 adults currently being supported by 150 Shared Lives schemes throughout the UK, and here in the West Midlands, there are 13 schemes supporting about 750 adults.

Shared Lives Carers open up their home and support adults with additional needs on either a live-in, short-break or day-support basis. Shared Lives is sometimes described as a bit like ‘foster care for adults’ but it’s so much more than that. The Carer encourages the person to not only become part of the family and provide a sense of belonging, but also to create a life of new opportunities, of which the person would otherwise have limited chances to experience. The aim of the Shared Lives Carer is to always support the person to develop the practical, social and emotional skills to make their own choices in life and be as independent as possible, whilst remaining at the heart of the community, just like you and me.

**About you - **This is a great opportunity for those individuals who want to develop a rewarding career within the adult social care sector. Shared Lives really does challenge the assumptions of what adults who require extra support can achieve whilst living within the comfort of an ordinary home, but with extra-ordinary carers. If you are looking for a change of direction in life, or already working as a support worker/carer assistant in domiciliary or residential care, however, you are more passionate about supporting people in the community, then Shared Lives could be for you.

**What we offer **We will provide you with relevant training, and once approved, on-going support to ensure that the highest quality of care is maintained throughout each Shared Lives Arrangement. The Assessment process will involve a number of stages to check your suitability and allow us to find out more about you and your family, along with your values and experience. We will use a combination of meetings, training and professional discussions, before presenting you to an Independent Panel for final approval. An Enhanced DBS Check and references are also required. Becoming a Shared Lives Carer means there is also the opportunity to take part in wider social events, celebrations and access existing resources, as well as connect to a wealth of support and friendships within our long-established Shared Lives community across the region.

As a Shared Lives Carer, you can be paid up to £670 per week or pro-rata depending on the level of support you provide to the adult who comes to stay with you. Through HMRC, you will have self-employed status and therefore qualify for tax relief at £10K per annum and £250 per week for each person you support.

**Job Type**: Contract

**Salary**: Up to £670.00 per week
