About us

Epilepsy can be one of the most frightening and isolating conditions a child can experience. The loss of any sense of safety, trapped in an unpredictable world, not knowing when their next seizure will happen, where it will happen, who will be there and if they will be hurt.

Living in this unpredictable world takes its toll on a child’s physical and mental health, as well as impacting their education and social life. It can limit opportunities for the rest of their life.

Children with epilepsy have a right to be heard. We are here for them.

Together we can create a society where children and young people with epilepsy have a voice and can live happy, fulfilled lives. Through research that improves diagnosis and treatments, campaigning for children’s rights, and providing innovative tools, information, and practical support for living day-to-day life.

Together we create possible.

Their mission is to work towards being led by people with Learning Disabilities, and they currently deliver a range of high-quality housing, support and activities across local communities. They are currently recruiting for an engaging, people-focused Shared Lives Officer to grow and promote their Shared Lives Scheme across Barking and Dagenham. This is a full-time role and will initially be on a 10 month fixed term contract.

The charity's Shared Lives scheme is an enriching model of care which matches those needing support with a trained, self employed carer who opens their homes (and their life) in order to help support them. Using your local knowledge, you’ll be spending time in local communities to promote the charity's Shared Lives programme, and encourage people to become Shared Lives Carers. You’ll be out and about in Barking and Dagenham, connecting with individuals, families, and local organisations to raise awareness of the Shared Lives scheme at community events. Through meaningful conversations and thorough assessments, you’ll identify and support potential carers to be assessed, trained and approved ready to provide care.

To apply for this role, you will be a warm, engaging communicator who thrives in community settings. You’ll have experience in social care, community development, or carer recruitment and will ideally have an understanding of the needs of people with learning disabilities and/or autism (although experience with other vulnerable groups will be considered). You will be organised, proactive, independent, and passionate about making a difference to the lives of vulnerable people.

To apply, please initially submit your CV (Cover Letters not required at this stage).
