**Who are we looking for?**
We welcome people of all ages and backgrounds who are married, single, living with a partner, with or without children, who own their own home or rent with or without experience of caring for people. Anyone over the age of 18 can become a Shared Lives Carer.

You can work from home or in the local community, choose your own days and hours.

Each Carer develops a personal profile, which is used to match them with an individual requiring support, based on common interests, location and support needs.

For long-term and respite support, a spare bedroom is essential.

**Benefits of being a Shared Lives Carer**
As a Shared Lives Carer, you are **self-employed** and you can receive tax benefits if you fit the criteria. Long-term carers benefit from four to six weeks paid respite a year to make sure that the match continues positively.

You will have the opportunity to become a Shared Lives Plus member, which can support you with advice about the legal and tax arrangements. You’ll also receive many discounts and access to a whole community of Shared Lives Carers for advice if you join.

Access to Vivo’s training courses, as well as peer group meetings, can be arranged by your scheme workers.

You will be part of a service regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and have a dedicated scheme worker to talk through anything you’re not sure about and celebrate your successes.
