Recruiting now for Shared Lives Carers!

Do you have room in your heart and space in your home to become a Shared Lives Carer? Are you looking for a change of career or direction in life? Would you like to work from home, feel valued and give back to the local community?

If so, Camphill Village Trust, West Midlands Shared Lives Scheme, is looking to recruit new Carers throughout the Black Country and surrounding areas RIGHT NOW.

Sometimes described as ‘adult fostering’, Shared Lives Carers open up their home to inspire adults with care and support needs to lead an ordinary life at the heart of the community, just like you and me. Types of Shared Lives Arrangements: Long-term Short-break/respite Day-support

The benefits: A very competitive weekly payment Qualifying tax relief A comprehensive induction programme Ongoing support and training Access to wider charity resources and social events

You don’t need any qualifications or experience, just the right values, dedication...and of course a spare room. Your enthusiasm, motivation and commitment are far more important to us, and we will support you every step of the way.

To find out about becoming a Shared Lives Carer, why not give us a call, it could be the start of a rewarding new adventure!!!

For the Dudley, Wolverhampton, Sandwell, Walsall, West B’ham, South Staffs (below M54), Bromsgrove, Redditch and Kidderminster areas please contact us on 01384 441505 email us at: sharedlives@cvt.org.uk or visit our website at: https://www.camphillvillagetrust.org.uk/shared-lives-carer/

Shared Lives supporting adults to live their lives of opportunity!

For over 20 years, Bella Singh has worked as a Shared Lives carer, providing a stable and secure home and family life for adults with additional and complex needs.

In January 2004, Bella was introduced to Shared Lives (formally known as Adult Placement), and has now supported 10 adults to gain further independence and skills.

Bella stated ‘Chris moved in with me in February 2004, and has lived as part of our family ever since. My role allows me to work with people to achieve their goals and dreams and become more independent, but always in the knowledge that I am there to lend a hand’.

Chris says ‘I love living with Bella. We do lots together, we’ve been on holidays all over the world, and I get to do the things I want and that are important to me’.

Shared Lives is still a relatively unknown model of care that holds similarities to fostering, where specially trained Carers open up their home and support adults with additional/complex needs to lead as independent life as possible, whilst staying connected to the local community. Currently, there are approximately 9,000 people being supported up and down the UK in this way.

Shared Lives offers an alternative home-based support model to residential care for people with a learning disability, autism, mental ill health, through to older people and hospital discharges. It also provides an opportunity for young people leaving care to stay with their foster carers post 18.

The role of a Shared Lives Carer is for anyone with the right values and commitment, and of course, a spare bedroom. You can be paid up to £700+ per week (tax free), depending on the level of support you provide.

The job role is essential to the effective delivery of both operational and development of the library service. The role manages all operational aspects in the South of the county as well as having county-wide responsibility for Stock services, Mobile libraries, Home Library Service, the Library Management System and bespoke projects such as the Sensory Mobile Library (Discovery Den) which is the result of a large Arts Council funding bid.

The responsibility of developing Libraries, Library Stock, Mobile and Outreach and Digital Library services fit for tomorrow and beyond isn’t simple. Each one brings a completely different set of challenges, with teams spread across the county. However, if you have the strategic ability to understand what our community needs and the innovation to deliver it, the role will give you both personal and professional pride.
