What the Opportunity entails:

A couple where by the lady is cared for mainly by carers and an elderly gentleman who is warm and friendly with reduced mobility are seeking a Sharer for their home to give a mix of 15 hours’ help and company each week in exchange for the low-cost accommodation.

The gentleman 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 gentleman’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 kind, helpful and reliable non-smoker, who is happy to help around the home.

If you are interested, please fill in the Sharer Application Form and we will be in touch and can then give you more details about this specific situation.

£150.00 per month plus possible contribution to household bills up to £65 per month.
