Summary:
We are seeking a compassionate, reliable, and detail-oriented Housekeeper Companion to support a very independent elderly couple in their 90s. This part-time role is based in a well-kept 3-bedroom semi-detached home with a bathroom, lounge, kitchen, and garden. The ideal candidate will take pride in maintaining a clean and organised home environment, while also offering light companionship and practical daily support.
This is a perfect opportunity for someone with a gentle, kind, and happy demeanour, who enjoys building relationships and supporting older adults in maintaining their dignity and independence. Fluency in Greek is advantageous (as the couple are Greek), but not essential for the right person who can communicate with warmth and patience.

Housekeeping: Perform thorough and regular cleaning of all rooms (kitchen, lounge, bathroom, bedrooms), hoovering, dusting, washing floors, and ironing.
Laundry and Washing: Manage washing and ironing of clothes and linens.
Meal Support: Assist with preparing and cooking meals or support the lady of the house in the kitchen, as she enjoys cooking.
Companionship: Spend time with the couple, offering conversation, a friendly presence, and general emotional support.
Light Assistance: Support with practical tasks like changing light bulbs or fetching shopping, which have become more challenging for them.
Outings & Walks: Accompany the lady of the house on short local walks or assist with light errands.
Requirements
Experience in housekeeping, elderly care, or companion roles (formal or informal).
Kind, patient, and friendly personality, with a positive and respectful attitude.
Ability to encourage independence rather than take over tasks unnecessarily.
Trustworthy and reliable, with good references.
Ability to work unsupervised and use initiative.
Basic understanding of elderly wellbeing, including medication reminders and monitoring.
Fluent in English with strong communication skills.
Desirable:
Previous experience working with elderly individuals or in domiciliary support.
A background in cleaning roles with a focus on detail and hygiene.
Basic cooking skills or enjoyment of food preparation.
Benefits
Meaningful and rewarding role supporting a wonderful couple in maintaining their lifestyle.
Regular working hours (daily visits), with opportunity to build a trusted, long-term relationship.
Friendly and respectful home environment.
Supportive family in the background ensuring open communication and continuity.
Opportunity to truly make a difference in the lives of two elderly people who value their independence and companionship.
