About the Role

We are seeking a friendly, reliable and thoughtful personal companion assistant to provide social support and to an intelligent, lively person who enjoys an active, cultured lifestyle despite early signs of cognitive impairment. The role will suit someone who is calm, thoughtful and understands the importance of discretion in social situations.

Music, particularly choir singing, is a key interest, as are walking in nature, local excursions, and visiting galleries, cinema and museums.

The companion would be expected to establish a friendly rapport as well as provide gentle structure and easy-going guidance, helping to make life’s routines easy and stress free as well as enjoyable. The role is also about helping the client’s family, being a friendly companion when family members are not available.
