What the Opportunity Involves:

In return for the low-cost accommodation (£199 pm), we are looking to match a friendly and compassionate person to share with the homeowner, someone who is happy to provide around 10 hours of practical support plus some companionship each week. No personal care is expected or permitted.

Our homeowner is in her mid-40s. She is a delightful lady and has a good sense of humour. In previous years she enjoyed horse riding and travelling.

She has some health conditions (including partial sight) which limit her activities, and she has a lovely guide dog (a Labrador) and two cats. Her mother and some friends live close by and she spends her days chatting on the phone, going for walks, listening to music and watching her favourite TV shows (which include EastEnders).

Whilst comfortable with her own company during the day, our homeowner is looking to share her home with someone who would enjoy living in a nice quiet environment and would be happy to make and share some simple healthy meals in the evening and spend some time together watching television, and chatting. or going out sometimes on the weekend to the shops or for a walk.

Our homeowner has lived with well controlled epilepsy for many years, and whilst she does not have many, or regular, episodes, this Homeshare opportunity would ideally suit somebody who has some experience and understanding of epilepsy and the patience to remain calm if the situation arose, and able to call emergency contacts if necessary.

The ideal Sharer will be in their 30s or 40s, probably working outside the home during the week but typically home in the early evenings and happy to share a meal and some companionship time.

You must like and be happy to live with pets!

Our client’s preference is to share with a female.

We are looking to match this Homeshare opportunity very soon, so if it is of interest, please get in touch with us asap preferably by email, and tell us about yourself, your work/study schedule, and why you would be well suited to it.

*** Cost: £199 per month *** This is a monthly facilitation fee for our matching and ongoing monitoring service. You do NOT pay any rent to the homeowner. Bills are included however you may need to make a modest contribution towards council tax and bills of around £50 per month.
