We are hiring Maidenhead/Wokingham
Companionship Services Ltd. supports older adults to maintain and regain independence, stay confident, and remain socially connected through steady, one-to-one companionship. Our preventative model helps clients stay well for longer, delay the effects of ageing, and enjoy a meaningful daily routine built around their interests, strengths, and personal goals.
We provide genuine company, warmth, and consistency, ensuring clients are not left alone or limited to task-focused visits. Our companions build trusted relationships that support wellbeing, confidence, and autonomy.
Role Description
The Companion role is flexible, relationship-centred, and focused on meaningful presence rather than clinical care. You will support older adults one-to-one in and around their residence, helping them feel connected, motivated, and in control of their daily life.
Key Responsibilities
- Social connection through conversation, shared activities, and confidence-building
- Engaging clients in hobbies, interests, and purposeful routines
- Accompanying clients on walks or local outings to support mobility and wellbeing
- Gentle routine support such as reminders, encouragement, and structure
- Light home help, light gardening, and simple household tasks
- Driving your own car to support clients with shopping, appointments, or local activities
- Observing and reporting changes in wellbeing to families or professionals
- Working collaboratively with families and other contacts to maintain consistent, person-centred support
