Homeshare in Upton Noble, near Frome BA4

We are looking for a mature, friendly and reliable person/ couple to share the home of an intelligent and very independent older woman with a love of gardening and nature. In exchange for low cost accommodation, we ask that you offer around 10 hours of support each week (20 hours if a couple) and provide a reassuring overnight presence in the house. We carry out detailed interviews, references and a DBS check.

Please read the Homeshare West website before enquiring to ensure you fully understand the requirements. You must be employed and, where relevant, have the Right to Reside in the UK.

Support would include cooking three meals per week, keeping basic groceries topped up when necessary, some companionship and occasional help with laundry. Some local outings or short drives would be appreciated. Someone who is independent, enjoys good conversation, and a peaceful rural setting would be a great fit. A car owner is a must due to the rural location.

Homesharing is a lifestyle choice suited to considerate, grounded people who have the energy and willingness to offer support at the end of their working day. If you enjoy shared meals, stimulating conversation, and being part of someone’s life in a positive and meaningful way, we’d love to hear from you.
