A warm and friendly older person with reduced mobility is seeking a Helpful Housemate for their home to give them a little bit of help – up to 5 hours a week - in exchange for the lower-than-market- rent.

This person would really appreciate a couple of meals cooked from scratch a week and shared. The kind of meals likes are fish pie, macaroni cheese, shepherds pie. The Helpful Housemate is also requested to keep their own rooms clean and tidy, and leave any communal areas such as the main kitchen clean and tidy after use, if they use it.

The Helpful Housemate will be on their own floor of the property. The accommodation on offer is a bright double room with ample, built-in wardrobes, it’s own shower room, and their own kitchen. The sitting room, garden and main kitchen are shared with the Host and one other Helpful Housemate.

The property is conveniently located in a lovely residential area of Ealing, just 7 minutes’ walk from South Ealing Station (Piccadilly Line) and 15 minutes’ walk from Ealing Broadway Station (Central Line).

The person’s use to be a biology teacher and volunteered at Kew Gardens after retirement. They enjoy reading books and the newspaper (and doing newspaper puzzles), and sitting and pottering in their garden, nature and drawing.

Helpful Housemates usually work or study and have a few spare hours each week to offer a light hand to their Host. The ideal Helpful Housemate will be a positive, friendly, kind, practical, helpful and reliable non-smoker, ideally with a few Shared interests.

If you are interested, please email a little information about yourself, your hours of availability, if you can commit for at least a year, and why you are interested in, and think you may be suitable for, this share. We can then give you more details about this specific situation.

The Host would prefer share with a female.
