What the Opportunity entails:

A couple are seeking a Second Sharer to live in their home and offer up to 15 hours’ help and company each week in exchange for the low-cost accommodation.

The husband has short-term memory problems due to early Alzheimer’s so as his wife still works part-time, they are seeking a Second Sharer for their home to give a mix of general practical help around the home, plus some friendly company.

The practical help would include cooking some healthy (mainly vegetarian) meals, light cleaning/tidying, a bit of ironing, picking up shopping, prompts and reminders, simple IT help, and some friendly company, such as going on walks, having a chat, pottering n the garden.

The accommodation on offer is a spacious bedroom with a single bed and wardrobe, and shared use of the bathroom, kitchen, sitting room and garden, in a clean and tidy home.

The property is in a lovely location approx. 15 minutes’ walk from Sydenham Station in one direction and Forest Hill in the other (both London Overground and National Rail), and close to a lovely park.

The person enjoys listening to music, cycling, the company of friends, going for walks and gardening.

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 have some daytime availability 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 per month plus contribution to household bills (£60 per month).
