What you may support with:
- Personal care and daily routines

- Companionship and emotional support
- Household tasks
- Shopping and appointments
- Supporting independence, interests and community involvement
- Support relating to an individual’s specific disability or condition, within your experience, competence and the requirements of the individual placement

Carers can create a profile showcasing their experience, skills, interests and availability, helping individuals and families consider carers who may suit their needs and preferences.
Carers receive weekly payment for completed placements, alongside a weekly food allowance and agreed travel costs to and from the placement.
Suitable placement opportunities can then be considered by carers, who remain free to apply for, accept or decline opportunities according to their own availability and circumstances.
