A bit about me:
I am a 73-year-old male now enjoying retirement from a busy work schedule in television commercials. I live with my wife in Keevil, a small village just outside of Trowbridge. I enjoy keeping active by cycling every day, walking, going to the gym and I am a keen follower of sport, especially rugby. I enjoy my garden but now find it difficult to concentrate on what needs to be done due to my Alzheimer diagnosis and poor short-term memory.
About the role:
I am looking for someone who would be willing to keep me company for a few hours once a month while my wife is out with friends. Someone who might share some of my interests who I could chat with, go for a drink or meal with or just enjoy each other’s company. This is likely to be of an evening or at a weekend but would be by mutual arrangement with plenty of notice.
The kind of person I am looking for:
Friendly and approachable, responsible, reliable and trustworthy. Good communication and social skills. To respect confidentiality and privacy and be sensitive to my needs. Be able to accept responsibility. Be willing to learn and have the ability to work on your own initiative.
