Wolverhampton, United Kingdom Camphill Village Trust Full time

**Job title**:Shared Lives Carer

**Location**:Wolverhampton, Dudley and the neighbouring Black Country areas, including South Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire (below A454), North Worcestershire, South-West Birmingham and Sandwell.

**Purpose**:Shared Lives Carers open up their home and support adults with additional/complex 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.

**Salary**:Shared Lives Carers must register with HMRC for self-employed status which enables you to qualify for Tax Relief of up to £18,140 per household annually plus £450 per week for each person staying with you. You are then paid between £300-£600 per person per week (pro-rata), according to the level of support you provide. You can support up to three people at any one time.

**Hours**:Shared Lives Carers provide support to the person on either a Live-In (permanent), Short-Breaks (over-night or weekends) or Day-Opportunities (morning or afternoon sessions) basis.

**Do you** **have a room in your home and room in your heart?**

**Could you share your home with someone who needs your support?**
- **You will have to complete an Enhanced DBS Check, a self-declaration of health and provide employer and personal references. The Scheme will then provide you with a comprehensive Induction Programme as well as on-going supervision, support and training. Your status is then approved by an Independent Panel. We will ask for a deposit for any set-up costs, which is repaid after approval at Panel. The whole process can take between 3-6 months**.**_
