Crynodeb
I am a wheelchair user in my 50s and live with my cat. I require personal care using a hoist, assistance with transfers, and light housework. There are opportunities for Part Time, Bank, and Permanent positions.
Duties
You will support me with daily activities so that I can move safely around my home and access what I need. I will communicate clearly throughout each shift and guide you on what is required.
Below is an outline of the typical tasks for each shift type:
Night Shift (Sleeping Night)
• Assistance getting ready for bed
• Personal care (hoist-assisted)
• Helping relieve leg cramps when they wake me
• Morning support to get up
A separate adjoining bedroom is provided for you to sleep. I generally require assistance a couple of times per night for around 5 minutes each time.
Afternoon Shift
• Hoist-assisted toileting
• Adjusting my seating position
• Light housework
• Support with preparing food
Morning Shift
• Support with physiotherapy exercises
• Light housework
• Occasional food preparation
No experience is necessary. Full training is provided during paid working hours.
