Low cost accommodation in Oxford OX4

THIS OPPORTUNITY IS FOR SOMEONE WHO IS A DRIVER WITH OWN CAR - PLEASE ONLY APPLY IF YOU MEET THIS REQUIREMENT.

A warm and friendly elderly couple with reduced mobility are seeking a Sharer for their home to give them a mix of 15 hours’ help and company each week in exchange for the low-cost accommodation.

They would really benefit from some practical help around the house including some shopping, cooking and share around four meals each week, help with light household chores (there is a cleaner), ad hoc tasks such as replacing batteries, emptying bins and recycling, lifting things etc plus the friendly reassurance of having someone around their home in the evenings/overnight.

The accommodation on offer is a furnished double bedroom with desk, chair and hanging space with its own bathroom and shared use of the sitting room, kitchen and garden.

The property is conveniently located in Iffley on the south side of Oxford, just over two miles into the centre of Oxford.

The couple’s interests include crossword puzzles, TV quizzes, fishing, socialising with village friends and family, their local church, community activities and good food and wine.

As a Sharer you are free to work or study as long as you have enough spare time to give the agreed level of company and support. The ideal Sharer will be a positive, friendly, kind, helpful and reliable non-smoker who ideally shares some of their 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.

We are a Homeshare agency specialising in finding Sharers for people who have a spare room and would welcome and benefit from some company and practical help. As a Community Interest Company, the monthly payment goes towards the running of the scheme.

£150.00 per month plus possible contribution to household bills (£40 per month).
