**Shared Lives Officer**:
**Part time (27 - 33 hours per week)**:
**Dorchester, Dorset (hybrid working)**:
**£24,496 to £28,371 (full time salary, pro rata for part time)**:
Dorset is a wonderful place to live and work - highlights include the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, expansive designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, bustling market towns, some highly rated schools, and a university in Bournemouth. Whilst the post-holder may work on a 'patch' basis in a specified area of Dorset, the post is based in Dorchester, the County Town.

The Dorset Shared Lives Scheme is a growing service which provides high quality family-based accommodation, care and support services to people aged 16 years and over with care and support needs, many of whom have a learning disability. The scheme is registered with the Care Quality Commission and all staff and Shared Lives Carers work within the CQC standards for the service.

**What you will be doing**

Shared Lives Officers are responsible for maintaining a caseload of Shared Lives Carers. The role includes recruitment and monitoring of Shared Lives Carers, matching service users and carers for both long term placements, respite and day support opportunities; and promoting the service. In doing so the post-holder, working with the scheme Manager, will ensure that the service that users of the scheme receive is consistent with the standards set by the scheme, underpinned by legislation and regulation. Full induction training and ongoing support will be given.

**About you**

We are looking to appoint someone who is committed to working collaboratively and with clear purpose to improve the lives of people with care and support needs in Dorset. This is an exciting opportunity to join the Dorset Shared Lives Scheme. We would be pleased to hear from you if you have prior experience of working with people with care and support needs and have the necessary personal attributes, skills and knowledge to carry out the role successfully.

**Additional Information**

For an informal discussion, please contact Ceri David (Team Manager) on 01308 426042 or Richard Christian ( Specialist Manager/ CQC Nominated Individual) on 01305 251414.
