Emergency Shared Lives Carer
Shared Lives Powys are seeking individuals or households who are able to provide short-notice accommodation and support for adults (aged 18+). Emergency Shared Lives arrangements support adults during times of crisis, transition, hospital discharge, or placement breakdown. These arrangements are short-term and aim to provide stability and reassurance while longer-term plans are explored. Shared Lives supports adults only and is not fostering.
The Role
As an Emergency Shared Lives Carer, you will:
- Provide short-term accommodation at short notice
- Offer day-to-day support and reassurance during periods of change
- Share everyday household and community life
- Support adults while working alongside Shared Lives Powys and other professionals
Arrangements are temporary and carefully managed, with matching remaining central wherever possible. Shared Lives Carers are self-employed.
