Is this course right for me?

Adult Placement/Shared Lives is a service offering short breaks, personalised day services or a full-time home to adults with learning disabilities or complex health conditions. Shared Lives carers are usually people who take someone into their own homes either permanently or temporarily to give the person’s relatives a break. This enables the person to join in with the shared lives workers’ family and community life.

This 14 month qualification will allow learners to develop the knowledge and skills required to undertake a role that supports shared lives placements/arrangements and Adult Placement/Shared Lives Carers.
