Description

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS HOMESHARE PLEASE CONTACT US VIA THE FORM ON OUR WEBPAGE - AS OUTLINED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS AD.

This Homeshare opportunity is advertised by Homeshare Oxfordshire, a service of Age UK Oxfordshire, on behalf of the Householder(s). A Homeshare arrangement offers low cost accommodation in the home of an older person, or couple, in exchange for an agreed amount, typically 10 hours a week, of companionship and help around the home.

An interesting and independent Householder is looking for a friendly, intelligent, female to join her in her Iffley Borders /Rose Hill home, with close links to public transport in one direction and short walk to Iffley village and the nearby river Thames in the other.

The Householder has a Social Work background, both as a practicing social worker and as a trainer/teacher at Oxford Brookes and at Ruskin College. She has many interests including reading, exhibitions, museums and gardens and, in the past, has enjoyed travelling. She has been active in her community and involved in a number of social initiatives and left-wing politics.

Owing to some decreased mobility and a less energy, a little help around the house would now be very welcome, including putting out the bins each week. Regular support from a cleaner is also in place.

The Householder enjoys food, and in the past has grown vegetables on an allotment. Someone who enjoyed cooking and may like to cook evening meals a few times a week could work well. An interest in gardening and a willingness to help with jobs in the garden would be great. Someone with good IT skills who could assist with the little things that crop up on mobile phones and laptops would be appreciated.

Whilst the Householder is happy in her own space and own company, time spent together every now and then with a compatible Sharer would be welcome. Having the reassurance of knowing that there is someone else around in the house, especially at night, is an important factor.

This Homeshare might best suit a female post-graduate student or an academic although the Householder is open minded about others who may work well too. The Sharer should be easy going, helpful and friendly and responsible. Someone with their own independent life, who also enjoyed their own space and was happy to live in a relaxed environment, would work well.

The light and welcoming home is in a quiet cul-de-sac in Iffley Borders, the area of Rose Hill bordering Iffley Village. Close to bus stops on Rose Hill and also backing onto a foot and cycle path to Iffley village and the river Thames. The room is cosy with cupboard and drawers and desk.

This Homeshare opportunity is advertised by Homeshare Oxfordshire on behalf of the Householder(s). Homeshare Oxfordshire the local Homeshare Provider for Oxfordshire and are involved in setting up and supporting the Homeshare on an ongoing basis. We are part of Age UK Oxfordshire, a registered charity, and thus operate on a not-for-profit basis.
