Be Part of Our Team - Day Care Host, The Filo Project in the South West. The Filo Project is a not-for-profit enterprise offering high quality, small group day care for older people. We are looking for compassionate, empathetic and versatile people who would like to use their home to host a group of 4 older people for up to 2 full days per week, depending on the need in the area.
You'll need to be creative and adaptable to the changing needs of your group. Examples of group activities include playing games, listening to music, baking or simply enjoying a conversation.
We don t expect restaurant level food, but for some of your guests this may be the only hot meal they eat in the week, so a reasonable level of home cookery would be great. Working for The Filo Project is interesting, satisfying and occasionally challenging! You will need to be physically and emotionally able to work alone with your group for a full day. Our mission is to provide enriching day care for people living with dementia and the challenges of older age. Essential requirements for a Day Care Host
