Are you someone who’s full of life, loves to laugh, and isn’t afraid to be a bit silly? Do you enjoy music, playing games, getting out and about, and making the most of each day—whatever the weather? We’re looking for a fun, outgoing, and energetic person with a great sense of humour to bring joy and companionship to a vibrant young woman who loves to have a good time.
But it’s not all fun and games—this is also a role that requires heart. You’ll need to be caring, compassionate, and confident, with the maturity to handle serious situations when needed. Our daughter is a wheelchair user with complex needs. She has epilepsy, a visual impairment, and is doubly incontinent, so this is a female-only position. What she needs most is someone who will support her, keep her safe, and advocate for her while being a reliable and consistent presence in her life.
You’ll be working every Wednesday and Friday from 2:30–6:30 PM, and two Saturdays a month from 11 AM–4 PM. It’s essential that you’re dependable and able to commit to these regular hours. You must also be over 21 and comfortable driving a wheelchair-accessible vehicle. The role can be physically demanding, so a good level of fitness is important.
If you have a big personality, a kind heart, and a commitment to making a difference while having genuine fun along the way—we’d love to hear from you. References will be required.
Duties include:
- Medication prompting/administering
- Personal grooming
- Eating and drinking assistance
- Moving and handling
- Clinical tasks
- Administration
- Housekeeping
- Transportation
- Companionship
- Looking after pets
- Dressing / undressing
- Bathroom assistance
Candidate qualities:
- Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality
- Reliable with good timekeeping
- Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative
- Hygienic, tidy and well organised
- Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
- Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills
- Honest and cheerful
- Creative
- Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard
- Must be comfortable with pets
- Able to always work to high standards of health & safety
Additional requirements
Non-smoker preferred or someone willing to refrain from smoking during working hours
