Different Roles in Surrey Choices

Shared Lives Carer

Shared Lives works specifically with disabled people, autistic people older people, those with sensory needs, those with mental health problems and those with support needs, whatever their age. It provides people with the opportunity to become more independent and to learn new skills in a safe, supportive home environment.

As a Shared Lives Carer, you would share your home with an adult that has been matched with you. Depending on how much time you can commit this might be a long-term living arrangement, or a short-term break. You may also just provide occasional respite care, or you may spend one or two days a week with the person you are helping, rather than them living with you.

As a Shared Lives Carer, you will be paid by us depending on the type of care you are offering. You will be self-employed, so you will need to register as self-employed and pay your tax and National Insurance contributions yourself. There are special tax arrangements for Shared Lives Carers known as qualifying care relief and this does not prevent you from working in other employment.

We will give you all the information, training and support you require to support someone who has particular needs in your home.
