Not sure where to post this as it's not childcare per se as kids are older and at boarding school - but sure someone can advise.
My friend has a long period of recuperation ahead of her following an operation, won't be able to drive, and is looking for someone to live in (Wiltshire) and offer general help and company for a few hours a day, from September.
Jobs board does not seem right place to put this - perhaps someone can advise how to go about finding someone like this?

Not sure if it even exists still but an ad in The Lady immediately sprang to mind for this type of companion/home-help type role.

There is a company in Horsham called Country Cousins who have people who offer this type of work, & I think they cover the whole country, might be worth googling them.
