**Homeshare Opportunity**
We are delighted to offer a new Homeshare opportunity for someone to live comfortably and affordably in a well located part of North London, in return for providing a little practical help and companionship to an older lady, and mostly a reassuring overnight presence.

Available from: 9/10 November 2024

What the Opportunity Involves:
In return for the low-cost accommodation (£199 per month), we are looking to match our homeowner with a younger sharer for some light practical support, a little companionship, and a reassuring presence at night. No personal care is permitted.

Our Homeowner is in her early 80s, a retired psychotherapist and academic researcher. She has limited mobility currently which is improving and some ongoing health issues. Carers come in twice a day, and she is also supported by close family and good friends. She enjoys reading, following the news and listening to BBC Radio 3 and 4.

Our Homeowner is used to sharing her home with lodgers over the years and now welcomes the possibility of homesharing with a well-matched sharer for mutual benefit.

Her ideal Sharer will be female, aged 25+, ideally working from home or on a hybrid basis or flexibly, who can be around for a little practical support during some days, for example, local shopping and errands, odd jobs around the house such as help with a bit of laundry, emptying the dishwasher, and maybe able to accompany her on occasional outings.

This opportunity would suit somebody who is kind and easy-going, clean and tidy, with their own independent life, who is intuitive and sensitive to someone’s else’s needs. A non-smoker.

We are looking to match this 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/studies schedule and why you would be well suited to it.

*No pets please*
