Homeshare in Kings Stanley, GL10

Are you looking for homely accommodation? Are you an animal lover? Would you still like the freedom of weekends away?

Homeshare Gloucestershire are delighted to offer a new opportunity to live in a comfortable home in Kings Stanley! If you are interested in affordable accommodation in return for just 7.5 hours a week providing companionship and some practical support, then read below to find out more.

Homeshare Gloucestershire connects people looking for some companionship within the home (Householders) with those who would appreciate entering into homely and affordable accommodation (Sharers).

The Opportunity:
To share a home with a friendly and chatty 82 year-old lady, who loves social dancing, dogs and horses. She is a former ballroom dance teacher and horse-riding trainer. The Householder loves dogs, she has a pug named Ralphie, so an animal lover is a must. A small and well behaved pet would be considered. She would welcome some companionship in the evenings, with someone willing to cook and share meals once or twice a week and well as occasional lifts if her family cannot help. Due to the location of this opportunity and the preference of the Householder, we can only consider mature, female car owners.

The House:
A three bed house with a single bedroom on offer. One room is already taken by a lodger who stays a few nights a week. The home is near Stonehouse and Stroud. There is shared access to bathroom, two toilets and plenty of parking available. The Householders son lives next door and her daughter visits regularly.

The Homeshare Agreement:
As part of this low cost living arrangement, you would give only 7.5 hours of your time each week in lieu of rent. On an average week, you’d spend the 7.5 hours spending time together, cooking meals or providing occasional transport. The lady is looking for someone who is likely to be around in the evenings during weekdays with the option of being away up to two weekends a month.
A contribution of £50/month is required from the Sharer, to go towards Council Tax and utility bills.

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. Please note, due to the nature of this arrangement, only fully COVID vaccinated people will be considered.
