Day Care Host
Could you open your home and your heart to four older people?
Do you have a welcoming home, a kind nature, and a couple of weekdays available? Perhaps you've always thought about volunteering with older people but need to earn an income too.
The Filo Project could be the perfect opportunity.
About the Role
Our Hosts welcome a small group of up to four older people living with dementia into their own home and create a warm, stimulating, and sociable day built around friendship, companionship, and meaningful connection.
This isn't traditional day care. You'll provide enjoyable activities, good food, and, most importantly, a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and included.
What We're Looking For
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You don't need to be a qualified carer or have years of experience. What matters most is who you are. We're looking for compassionate, understanding, and reliable people who genuinely enjoy spending time with others.
You could be a great Filo Host if you:
- Enjoy people and love a good conversation
- Are patient, empathetic, and able to read people well
- Recognise and value that everyone is unique
- Are curious, open-minded, and willing to learn from others
- Are positive, proactive, and creative
- Enjoy cooking and spending time in your local community
- Want your work to have a genuine purpose
What You'll Do
You'll host your group in your own home for 12 days a week, usually 9am-5pm. You'll collect members of your group from their homes, provide a home-cooked hot lunch, create enjoyable activities, and provide a day where friendship and connection can flourish.

- A five-door car with three full rear seats and seatbelts

- £110 per day, plus lunch and mileage allowances

If you want to do work that creates joy through human connection, we'd love to hear from you.
