As a Shared Lives Assessor, you will be responsible for managing all Shared Lives arrangements, including employing appropriate interventions to support carers and provide direction and guidance to ensure exceptional standards of care and support are being delivered to those individuals in care.

You will also visit our carers regularly to offer support, development and monitor the arrangements in place offering coaching and mentoring where needed to promote safe, person-centred support and care to the individuals.

This is a fantastic opportunity to shape the future growth of this excellent service.
