Homeshare in Edge, GL6

Homeshare in Edge, GL6 £200/month

Are you looking for affordable and homely accommodation?

Would you still like the freedom of weekends away?

Homeshare Gloucestershire are delighted to offer a new opportunity to live in a comfortable home in Edge, a village between Gloucester and Stroud! If you are interested in affordable accommodation in return for just five hours a week providing companionship and some practical support, then read below to find out more.

Homeshare Gloucestershire connects people looking for some company and practical support within the home (Householders) with those who would appreciate entering into homely accommodation at affordable rates (Sharers).

The Opportunity:
To share a home with a friendly and very independent older lady, who would welcome the presence of another person in her home. The Sharer would ideally be an open, friendly, easy going, flexible, tidy person who would enjoy the occasional chat over a cuppa. A driver and car owner is a must due to the rural location. The Sharer would be expected to be in the property a minimum of three evenings per week as well as sleeping in the property every night. You’d have one day ‘off’ per week, as well as being able to go away most weekends (if you wish). You can take up to five weeks of holiday/year (pro-rata).

The Home:
A large bungalow with its own garden, located in Edge – a friendly village on the A4173, between Gloucester and Stroud. A large bedrooom with plenty of storage is available for the right person, with almost single use of the bathroom, and shared use of the lounge, kitchen, and garden. Free parking available.

The Homeshare Agreement:
You would pay a monthly facilitation fee to Homeshare Gloucestershire for our matching and ongoing monitoring service. You do not pay any rent to the Householder, but will be required to make a small monthly contribution to council tax (25%) and household bills – we estimate this may be around £100/month.

As part of this low cost living arrangement, you would give only five hours of your time each week in lieu of rent. On an average week, you'd spend the five hours offering practical help around the house and general companionship.

This is a position advertised on behalf of the Householder. We carry out reference checks and an enhanced DBS check prior to introducing you to the Householder.

If you are interested, please message with your name, phone number and information about your background and current study/working hours. Please also specify if you have your own transport.
