We are looking for a single person - preferably female - in their 50 to 60's to live in a large mansion house - own en suite bedroom etc - to be company for an elderly couple. There are staff in the house from 9.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. during weekdays when you are free to come and go as you please. The only requirement is that you are in the house to keep an eye or an ear open for the couple, both in their 80's, should either fall or need help. Neither need care or nursing. While the gentleman spends a lot of his time sleeping the lady of the house would welcome the companionship in the evenings.
If you are an author and writing a book, a musician writing music, a walker, a golfer or simply looking for peace and quiet in a totally secluded corner of South West Scotland this could suit you and could be for as long as you liked.
You would have no electricity or heating bills and would have the use of the kitchen to cook your own meals after 4.00 p.m. You could probably have the use of a car for local travel if you needed it otherwise having your own would give you the freedom you might prefer.
