What the Opportunity entails:

An older person with autism person is seeking a Sharer for their home to give them a mix of 15 hours’ help and company in exchange for the low-cost accommodation.

This person would really benefit from some practical help with everyday tasks around the house including shopping, cooking, and help with light household chores, turning on the TV/computer, plus the friendly reassurance of having someone around their home in the evenings/overnight.

The accommodation on offer is a furnished singled bedroom in a house with garden, and shared use of the shower room and the home’s other facilities.

The property is conveniently located in Mitcham, with a choice of stations including Colliers Wood and Mitcham Eastfields station just one mile away.

The person’s interests include watching TV, looking at the paper and playing one game on the computer, and attending social activities when Covid allows. This would suit a calm, kind and patient ‘home bird’ who ideally has some experience of supporting someone elderly or with special needs.

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 the person’s interests.

£125.00  plus VAT =£150 per month. A possible contribution to Council Tax/utilities (£50 per month). NB Full-time students are exempt from Council Tax.
