When people hear the words 'Shared Lives carer' for the first time they sometimes assume it's an unpaid volunteer role. It's not. #SharedLives carers recieve a fee for the care and support they provide, and payments for accomodation and living expenses. Yes, Shared Lives carers open their hearts and their homes to provide support in a family environment. But they are still *professional* care workers. If you are looking for a fulfilling - paid - role in #socialcare - you should consider #SharedLives. #BetterShared #PCWW2024 #WeAreSharedLives https://bit.ly/3zqY8ev
