Shared Lives Carers

Be a Shared Lives Carer – make a difference and an income!

Our Shared Lives scheme recruits, trains and supports self-employed carers to provide a range of support, in and from their home, to people with a variety of care needs.

If you don’t have a spare room, you can still become a Shared Lives carer that can support someone living in their own home through our Shared Lives Kinship.

You’ll get the following support from Grace Eyre:

  • a dedicated staff member to call on and meet with
  • a matching process to bring the right people together
  • full induction and ongoing training
  • regular support meetings
  • networking with other Grace Eyre carers
  • out of hours helpline

Carers also receive the following financial benefits:

  • income from £350-£650 per week for each adult you support in your own home
  • receive a fee for the care you provide and a contribution towards household costs
  • tax relief on your income
  • opportunity to take breaks throughout the year
