HOMESHARE FOR FAMILIES

Let us find the perfect person to match your needs, someone who can offer you and your family help that actually makes a difference. We interview every candidate, conducting reference and enhanced DBS checks, and we obtaining a profile and background report that covers the history of each Homesharer.

We only introduce fully vetted candidates to you, who match your requirements and criteria. Suitable candidates are then invited to interview, by video and then in-person. In the first month, following a successful match, we will closely monitor the arrangement and offer over the phone guidance, support and practical advice to both Family and the Homesharer as and when needed.

HOW IT WORKS FOR THE HOST FAMILIY

Once you have registered your interest by completing the Online Host Family Form and providing us with the requirements, a Supportmatch Homeshare Coordinator will then contact you to discuss your requirements in more detail.

A Supportmatch Coordinator will then introduce suitable candidates to the Host Family who fit the requirements provided by the Host Family. If the host family is happy with a one of the candidates they interview and give Supportmatch the go ahead, then at this stage various documents are prepared and a one-off registration fee of £60 is applied and is payable to Supportmatch Homeshare.

The Family Support Homeshare arrangement is formalised with contracts that are designed to protect both parties and ensures that their is no misunderstanding regarding the Homeshare arrangement. Supportmatch Homeshare charges an monthly fee of £150, and will continue to monitor and oversee the arrangement for its duration, stepping in as and when required to mediate and address any practical challenges.

If for any reason the match does not work, then Supportmatch will find a replacement as soon as practically possible.

THE ARRANGEMENT

The Homeshare Family arrangement was created mostly for those who need a limited amount of childcare and Household help, who struggle to find reliable part-time staff. The Homesharer will live-in as an extension of the host family, and will provide between 10 and 15 hours of weekly help, with tasks such as babysitting, general cleaning, ironing and homework supervision. Some of our candidates will also have professional skills they can use to help your children.

The allocation of the weekly 10 to 15 hours of help and support that is provided by the Homesharer is agreed by both parties in advance for mutual convenience and interest of both the Host Family and the Homesharer. The Homesharer will also pay a monthly fee of £190 to Supportmatch Homeshare. The Homesharer will be responsible for their own personal and food expenses.
