We are looking for a kind, reliable and responsible lodger to join a calm and friendly household in Orpington.
The room is in a well-located home:
15-minute walk to Orpington station
5-minute walk to the high street
£500 per month, all bills included
You would be sharing the home with:
An 86-year-old lady with dementia
One other lodger
Professional carers who attend daily (including weekends in the mornings)
About the role: This arrangement would suit someone who is compassionate and happy to provide some light support in the evenings and on alternate weekends.
This is not a formal care job, but you would be expected to:
Be a reassuring presence in the home
Help with simple meals (lunch/dinner outside carer times)
Sit with her occasionally
Keep a general eye on her wellbeing
Provide some support alongside the other lodger
Daytime care is covered by professional carers, so support is mainly evenings and some weekends.
About you:
Kind, patient and dependable
Comfortable around someone with dementia
Ideally with some experience in care (not essential, but helpful)
Looking for a peaceful home rather than a purely independent rental
This is a unique arrangement that would suit someone who values a quieter living environment and is happy to offer a little support in return for affordable accommodation.
