Shared Lives Tenders

Shared Lives is a model in which adults who need support, often people with learning disabilities, mental health needs or older people, live with or regularly visit an approved Shared Lives carer in the carer's own home. Councils either run schemes themselves or commission independent organisations to recruit, train, match and support carers. It's widely recognised for good outcomes and value for money. Tenders focus on carer recruitment and retention, careful matching, and how the scheme will grow. Browse Shared Lives opportunities below.
