Spring 2025
Working for your local council offers a unique opportunity to improve the lives of residents while building a rewarding career.
We’re committed to delivering high-quality services and supporting the needs of our diverse residents. From education and health to housing and sustainability, we play a crucial role in enhancing the lives of those who live and work in Bexley.
No matter your role - whether in social care, environmental services, planning or customer service - you play a vital part in supporting your community and shaping the future of our borough. We offer diverse career opportunities that match your skills and interests, allowing you to make a meaningful impact right where you live.
We believe in creating an inclusive, supportive environment where all employees are valued. We offer competitive salaries, ongoing professional development and a chance to be part of an organisation that prioritises the well-being of both employees and the community.
Our lives get better when they’re shared
A Shared Lives carer shares their home, family and community life with a person over 18 who requires care and support. It provides an opportunity to see the amazing difference you can make to a person’s life whilst providing the ultimate ‘work from home’ opportunity.
The Shared Lives scheme supports adults with care and support needs which may make it difficult for them to live on their own. Shared lives matches carers and people requiring support based on shared interests and lifestyles. It feels like an ordinary life for someone who needs support – and doesn’t feel like a ‘job’ for you!
We are looking for Shared Lives carers who can provide a wide range of care and support, as the people the scheme supports have many different needs.
We offer competitive rates of pay, full support, training and access to the network of Shared Lives carers, so you are not alone.
Our Shared Lives carers come from all walks of life and choose to care for a wide variety of reasons. Formal experience of caring is less important than enthusiasm, motivation and commitment.
Find out more about the scheme by emailing us at: shared-lives@bexley.gov.uk or call us for an informal chat on 020 3045 4185.
