Hello! I am a man with a physical disability hiring personal care attendants for weekend mornings and AM backup shifts. This is a great part-time and on-call opportunity right near transit in Oakland. Prior caregiving experience is helpful but not required!
Shifts:
Weekends: between 7:00-10:00 AM and 7:00 AM-12:00 PM, for 8 hours/weekend total (regular every other weekend AND backup shifts available)
Weekdays: 5:30-8:30 AM (backup shifts)
Pay: $29.05/hr
Attendants must be able to work for In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) and pass a background check: IHSS pays $19.05/hour and I give an extra $10/hour.
IHSS providers are also eligible for benefits and overtime with enough hours.
Responsibilities include:
- Stretches
- Pivot transfers to/from wheelchair
- Bathroom assistance (includes bladder and bowel care)
- Showering & shaving
- Dressing
- Breakfast prep
- Cleaning, laundry and organizing
What I'm looking for in an attendant:
- Responsible & thorough
- Timely
- Boosted & willing to mask on the job
- Good communicator
I'm located in Oakland Chinatown, near BART stops and an 880 off-ramp.
If you’re interested, please send your availability (for regular and/or backup shifts), relevant work experience, and any questions you have about the job. There will be some training shifts with my experienced attendants, and I've worked with and trained total first timers before. No worries if this is your first attendant gig!
Thanks!
