Would you like some affordable accommodation and enjoy living in a small town?
Homeshare Gloucestershire are delighted to offer a new opportunity to live in a comfortable home in Painswick, Gloucestershire! If you are interested in affordable accommodation in return for spending 10 hours a week providing practical support and companionship, then read below to find out more.
Homeshare Gloucestershire connects people looking for some company and practical support within the home (Householders) with those who would appreciate entering into homely accommodation at affordable rates (Sharers).
The Opportunity:
To share a home with a friendly, chatty and very creative 86 year-old lady. The Sharer would ideally be a mature, friendly, positive and tidy woman with an interest in arts, who would enjoy cooking some meals and helping out with practical tasks around the house. A driver and car owner is a must. The Sharer would be expected to be in the property a minimum of three evenings per week as well as sleeping in the property every night. You’d have one day ‘off’ per week, as well as being able to go away every third weekend (if you wish). You can take up to five weeks of holiday/year (pro-rata).
The House:
A house with beautiful views over the hills, within a short walking distance to the centre of Painswick. Stroud and Gloucester are only a 10-15 minutes’ drive away. A double bedrooom with its own bathroom is available for the right person, with shared use of the lounge, kitchen, conservatory and garden. There is excellent internet connectivity.
The Homeshare Agreement:
You would pay a monthly facilitation fee to Homeshare Gloucestershire for our matching and ongoing monitoring service. You do not pay any rent to the Householder, but will be required to make a small monthly contribution to council tax (25%) and household bills.
As part of this low cost living arrangement, you would give only 10 hours of your time each week in lieu of rent. On an average week, you’d spend the 10 hours offering practical help around the house, cooking, sharing meals, general company. The lady and her family are looking for the reassurance of having someone at home overnight.
This is a position advertised on behalf of the Householder. We carry out reference checks and an enhanced DBS check prior to introducing you to the Householder.
