Please read the following information if you are serious about applying, and please don't apply if you aren't actually looking for this type of job, or if your personal life/family obligations will keep you from coming to work.
This is NOT just an elder-sitting job, and we need someone reliable and with a reliable vehicle. We do not pay cash.
RELIABLE female CNA/home health care aide needed in the 63rd and Portland neighborhood for weekday shifts (M-F, 9 to 5, but we’re open to an 8-4 schedule, if necessary).
Quadriplegic woman with two old cats needs fairly intensive personal care (including a bed bath twice a week), as well as making and giving her breakfast, assistance with her TV programs, a bit of pet care, and very light housekeeping. Occasionally, you will accompany her to the doctor and dentist (we use a medical ride service), and share her daily activities (movies, TV, music, etc.). You also keep track of the supplies and groceries she needs to order, and do grocery shopping one day a week. There IS downtime on this job when your patient sleeps, but overall the job isn't just sitting and watching TV or playing on your phone.
IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS:
RELIABILITY is vital (both you and your vehicle)
Patience
Common sense
Punctuality
Good attitude and even a sense of humor
Strength: you need to be somewhat strong (to move client around in her bed and use a lift to put her in her chair)
Self-motivation
Real experience in home health care
We prefer applicants should live in or near NW OKC so travel to work is not an issue, and you need a reliable vehicle. You should be in good health: because this is a private residence, we don’t have enough staff to cover frequent absences.
Reliability is a requirement: we need you to show up for the shift you’re hired for.
$20/hr pay rate, every other Friday. You will need to join our agency, which happens right away. Raises are based on merit. We will place you with the agency we use, Elara Caring/Elara Home Health. The agency will pay part of your pay. We make up the difference, and pay any overtime or holiday time you may have. Also, you may be eligible for insurance through the agency, and additional raises through them as well.
Either e-mail via Craigslist, or call 405.843.0043; if no one answers, leave a CLEAR message giving your name and phone number, and we'll return your call quickly. We will conduct interviews in the late afternoons, preferably (this can be altered to fit applicants' needs).
We can e-mail you a short application form if you provide us with an e-mail address, which will let you fill it in before your interview and save you time. If you have a resume, please bring it. We do contact previous employers for references.
In case it isn’t clear, we need someone who is actually and truly RELIABLE for this position!
