What the Opportunity entails:

A friendly and relatively independent elderly person is 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.

This person would really benefit from some practical help around the house including cooking some meals and helping out with household chores plus the reassurance of having some friendly company and someone living there.

The accommodation on offeris a furnished bedroom and bathroom for semi-sole use. It is a lovely home with a beautiful garden.

The property is located in a lovely village about 14 miles from Winchester. A car owner/driver essential.

The person is passionate about gardening. Also enjoys playing games, seeing friends, flower arranging, watching TV programmes about gardening, travel, culture and Strictly Come Dancing, classical music, and good food, cooking and trying new recipes.

The ideal Sharer will be a mature, friendly and reliable female, non-smoker who ideally shares some of the person’s interests. In terms of availability, the ideal Sharer will be someone who doesn’t need to leave for work until 8.30am/9am in order to be able to give a little support first thing.

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.
