Disgrifiad o'r swydd

Are you a caring person looking for more than just a job? Then you could become an Ategi Shared Lives carer.

Maybe you’re already a carer for a family member, you might be a foster parent, maybe you’re looking to change career, you might already have care experience, or just a passion for social care and a willingness to learn.

Shared Lives carers support adults who need a little extra support and would benefit from living in a home environment, it’s a bit like foster care – but for adults.

Ategi carefully match the person that needs support with one of our specially trained Shared Lives carers. As a Shared Lives carer you would share your home and family with them, helping the adult you support to develop their skills, work towards their goals and support them to be more independent. Supporting them to live their life, their way. As a Shared Lives carer you get to work from home and enjoy a career that truly makes a difference.
