About occupants
Hi my name is Jonathan. I am helping my client David (who you would be living with) find a supportive housemate. As you would have noticed the rent is free in this case in lieu of providing services around the household. Your responsibilites would include doing the shopping for Dave, help prepare snacks, drinks and cook dinner one evening a week (Sunday). David has support workers come in each morning and help him get ready so interacting with them and passing on any information/observations about Dave's mood overnight would help them perform their job. David also has workers come and take him out during the week to various activities so you would have the house to yourself. David also has workers come on the weekend but for a shorter period to take him out. There is not the expectation for you to be there when David gets home from his outings but there would be some that you'd be home at some point. David has evening workers come every day except sunday to cook dinner and during these times the worker would look after Dave. However when they leave (or before they get there) Dave would love someone to watch his shows with. Dave loves game shows and is very smart often getting the answer before me, he also loves sports especially golf and football. Ideally you would spend some time every day engaging with Dave and sharing in his interests.
Compatible people
The person that would make a great flatmate for Dave is someone who has worked in the disability sector and has lots of patience. Dave talks quite softly and sometimes you need to shuffle closer to hear him. Dave has a wicked sense of humour and loves a great laugh. Admittedly some of his jokes can be a little crass so someone who is not easily offended. An ideal flatmate is someone who understands that living with someone who has a disability has it's challenges but can also be very rewarding. On very rare occasions there may be the need for you to cook dinner short notice if a worker cancels and I am unable to find a replacement in time. There would be the requirement to meet with me once a week to discuss how things are going and sort through any issues in the household and I'd be more than happy to do this over coffee. If you think you can offer Dave the help he needs and would make a great flatmate then I look forward to hearing from you.
