    Brief

    Shared Lives is an adult placement service that supports vulnerable adults in family home settings. The service primarily serves adults with learning disabilities and/or autism, but also supports older people and those with mental health conditions. Individuals are placed in the homes of trained Shared Lives Carers who provide personalized care and support tailored to their needs. This opportunity is based in Cornwall, which operates one of the largest Shared Lives provisions in the South West region, currently supporting 115 people with long-term placements and 60 people with regular short-break services. Suppliers should understand that this service model emphasizes community integration, family-based care environments, and person-centered support for vulnerable adult populations.
