Bexley Council is looking for generous residents to help look after others in the borough.

The Shared Lives Carers scheme enables people to provide long and short-term accommodation within their own home.

After being carefully vetted, carers are provided with full training and ongoing support. 
Shared Lives Carers receive a fee, with the amount paid varying depending on the needs of the person being cared for. 

This may include a person with a learning or physical disability, or an older person who wishes to share a family home in the local community. 

Applicants must have a bedroom to spare, live in the borough, as well as a commitment and genuine desire to help others.
