Homeshare Location:

This Homeshare is situated in a beautiful home in a gorgeous part of North London, close to Hampstead Heath and to bus and train links direct into central London (Zone 3).

We are delighted to offer this fabulous new Homeshare opportunity for someone to live comfortably and affordably in north west London in return for providing around 10 hours a week of practical support across the midweek evenings and occasionally on the weekends, and an overnight reassuring presence to an older couple.

Available: August 2024.

What the Opportunity Involves:

In return for the low-cost accommodation (£199 per month), we are looking to match an older couple with a bright and friendly Sharer who is happy to provide some help at suppertime, and a little companionship, but most importantly, a reassuring presence at night. No personal care is permitted.

Our homeowners are an engaging and happy couple in their late 80’s. They enjoy reading, listening to classical music, going to the cinema and theatre, and playing bridge. They both use walking aids around the home for their safety. They have a large close family, and a housekeeper comes daily to help with laundry and housework.

They also have a delightful and friendly little terrier dog.

The ideal Sharer for this opportunity will be working or studying, probably mostly out of the home midweek, but around some evenings and weekends to help them at suppertime with food prep, some cooking and tidying up. The preference is for someone aged 24 + who is bright and cheery and has their own independent life and perhaps shares their interests in theatre and film.

A driver would be well suited and preferred to help with occasional drop-offs or shopping, and there is an automatic car available, but it is not essential.

The preference is for someone who is willing to stay for at least 12 months.

We are looking to match this opportunity very soon so please get in touch if this Homeshare is of interest, providing some information about yourself and why you would be well suited. Please only apply if you are happy with the accommodation offered and fully understand the requirements of this opportunity. Thank you.
