Shared Lives Carer – Join Tower Hamlets Shared Lives
Tower Hamlets Shared Lives (THSL) is seeking caring individuals from all parts of our community to become paid Shared Lives Carers and make a meaningful difference to the lives of vulnerable adults in Tower Hamlets.
THSL provides a community‑based alternative to traditional care for adults with a learning disability.
Through Shared Lives, a person lives, stays, or spends time with a Carer, using the Carer’s home as a safe and supportive base.
Our aim is simple: to help each person maintain their independence, build confidence, and live a full and connected life.
