Paid Morning Jogging Companion, ~30 min. jogging, - North Oxford (£14/session) for July-August 2026

What are you going to do:

Role: Morning Jogging Companion (short-term, part-time, self-employed casual basis)

Location: North Oxford (meeting near APCOA car park, Fyfield Road - Oxford, OX2 6QE, exact spot shared once in touch.

Duration: 28 June–9 August 2026 (flexible a couple days either side)

About me: I'm a young professional from abroad (fluent in English) temporarily living in Oxford. I have a chronic health condition that makes getting up reliably in the morning very difficult. Running helps me enormously, but motivating myself to start is the hard part — knowing that a paid running compannion is waiting outside and will join me makes all the difference. Once I'm moving and my circulation gets going, I'm completely fine: I can get up and walk independently and don't need any other support. I may need an extra 5-10 minutes to get ready, so the start time can slip a little.

Your Tasks

• Meet me near my flat at the agreed time on agreed mornings
• Run with me at a comfortable pace for ~30 min
  (slow, but 30 min several mornings a week may be demanding if you've never jogged)
• Some chatting is welcome; especially at start — I sometimes listen to music too and am happy to adapt to your preference as well.

What we offer

• Get fit and get paid
• £14 for ~40 minutes
• Short daily commitment
• Genuinely make a difference
• Benefit from time in green spaces
• Energised before 8 a.m.
• Friendly, relaxed atmosphere

Extra information

Schedule: weekdays from 7:15 a.m., weekends from ~7:45 a.m. (could be a little earlier if you cannot make it otherwsie).

I run 6-7 times a week and am happy to share the schedule between two people — so anything from 3 to 7 mornings of availability is an option. The more flexible you are about possible days, the better. 

Payment: £14 per session, paid in cash or by bank transfer — either after each run or weekly, whichever you prefer. This includes any short wait, if I need a few extra minutes to get readyTravel to the meeting point isn't separately reimbursed.

Next steps:
Please write me an email if you are interested. Please tell me in a few sentences who you are and why you think you are suitable.

Please also let me know: what days during the week you are available (the more flexible, the better), any days within the period where you definetly can not, whether the morning times work for you, whether any bad weather would put you off, your preferred method of payment, when you'd be free for a posible short Zoom call, so we can say hello and get to know each other beforehand

Looking forward to hearing from you!
