Homeshare in Poulton, Cirencester, GL7 £150/month
Are you looking for affordable accommodation near Cirencester? Would you enjoy living in a small village, within a 10-minute drive to Cirencester and 30-minute drive to Cheltenham, Swindon and Gloucester?
Homeshare Gloucestershire are delighted to offer a new opportunity to live in a comfortable home in Poulton! 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, independent older lady, who suffers with short term memory loss. The Sharer would ideally be a mature, friendly, Christian, positive and tidy person with an interest in reading, gardening, playing games and doing crosswords, who would enjoy helping with general company, giving occasional lifts to the Householder and cooking and sharing some meals . Due to the location, own transport is essential. 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:
The house is located on a quiet lane in Poulton. A double bedrooom with shared bathroom is available for the right person, with shared use of the lounge, kitchen and garden. There is good internet connectivity at the property.
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 helping with cleaning/tidying up and some light gardening, as well as providing some company to the Householder.
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.
If you are interested, please message us with your name, phone number and information about your background and current study/working hours. Please also specify if you have your own transport.
