Greetings!
I'm hiring for a personal care attendant for night shifts (Fri - Sun), approximately 30 hours/week. Please note that the night position is not an overnight shift.
The work is physically active, and primarily consists of assisting me with physical care associated with my disability. Given the personal nature of the work, it requires a body positive attitude. The work environment is friendly to women, and trans/non-binary folks. Applicants must be comfortable movers.
While no experience in this particular kind of work is needed, strong candidates must have a demonstrated history of good judgment and responsibility. It's a physical position, so applicants must be comfortable squatting, bending, lifting etc. Candidates with prior positions requiring movement, multi-tasking, clear communication, detail orientation and time management skills are preferred. A friendly and compassionate personality and being fairly logical are definitely helpful. To do this work a person must be fairly fluent in English.
The position is a good fit for sharp people seeking an entrance into health related fields, dancers, community activists, students, etc.
All applicants must be vaccinated and engage in COVID prevention practices.
This is a long-term position, and includes shifts through holidays. Ideally applicants live in or close to Berkeley.
If you'd like to hear more about the position, schedules and/or work environment, please email indicating
(1) a short detailing of your professional history
(2) a description of your COVID-19 prevention practices
(3) why you are interested in this position
Please DO NOT send attachments they will be deleted.
I look forward to hearing from you, and am truly looking forward to meeting an amazing assistant thank you for applying!
