Description

Lincolnshire County Council is looking for one provider to deliver a countywide Shared Lives
Service from the1st April 2025. In Shared Lives, an adult or young person (over 16 years) with
social care needs is matched with an approved Shared Lives carer, who supports and
includes the individual in their family and community life. Support can be in the form of a Live in
arrangement where the individual shares the Shared Lives Carer's home, Shared Days
where the carer provides daytime support, or overnight Short Breaks. The Council wishes to
see growth in the availability and utilisation of Shared Lives arrangements in Lincolnshire,
both in terms of the volume of people being supported across arrangements and diversity of
need.
Shared Lives arrangements are set up and supported by Shared Lives schemes who are
regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The provider will be responsible for the
following duties (for more information please see our specification detailed in the Tender
pack):
- To recruit, assess, support, monitor and train Shared Lives Carers.
- Ensure there are adequate numbers of Shared Lives Carers available to facilitate successful
matching with referred individuals.
- Managing and supporting the matching process.
- Promote and publicise the Shared Lives model and service.
- Work in partnership with the Council on all aspects of the Shared Lives service including
building and maintaining strong relationships with referring practitioners and teams.
