Vacancy caducado!
Hello! I’m looking for a part-time personal care assistant for approximately 22-27hrs/week. Schedule would be 4 weekdays a week, sometime between 9:30am and 4:30pm. If you could occasionally be available to sub on evenings and weekends that would be a plus. There can be some flexibility and we could talk about the exact details of your schedule together.
I am a disabled female science educator/ musician and artist in my late-40s who uses a wheelchair. I don't have much use of my hands, so I need help with almost all aspects of my life and health at my home in Brattleboro.
This job is part personal care/companionship, part household management, and part medical admin work. A care assistant license is not required, I am just interested in the skill set.
Medical duties include scheduling appointments and following up with doctors, managing pill containers, and refilling medications, attending doctors appointments and taking notes, coordinating care with a small care team in the home, and assisting with medical therapies in the home.
Person care Duties include: getting meals out for me, refilling my water as needed, putting on compression stockings, very occasional showers, helping with medical treatments that I do in my home, being able to drive my wheelchair vehicles, occasional grocery shopping and errands, and being part of a team of caregivers.
We are looking for someone who is committed to the idea of doing caregiving work, even if you don't have caregiving experience. Prior caregiving experience is definitely a plus but we are willing to train the right person. You should be detailed oriented, reliable, trustworthy, honest, detail-oriented, caring, and a good communicator, with a clean driver’s license, and good computer and phone skills (Macintosh knowledge is really helpful). We can train you on medical details and the other aspects of the job. I try to make it a fun environment that is laid-back, where you can continue to learn new skills.
My goal is to hire someone who would stay in this job for at least a year or longer, ideally longer than that, so that we can build a relationship. Pay is $25-35 per hour (based on experience), with the possibility for bonuses and raises over time, and one hour paid time off per 30 hours worked. We follow COVID protocols and this is a safe working environment. I am vaccinated and you need to be as well. My caregivers wear masks in the home because I am immunocompromised.
Please respond telling us a little bit about yourself and why this job is of interest to you.
Thanks so much and I look forward to speaking with you!
