Personal Support Worker (PSW)
Description
Are you looking for meaningful work that you can feel good about? As a personal support worker, you can truly make a positive impact in the life of another person in need. I’m a gentleman with Muscular Dystrophy who refuses to be institutionalized; instead, I am hiring a small, close-knit support team to help me live with dignity and independence in my own home. You’ll get the benefit of full-time hours, a relaxed atmosphere, and the consistency of working with a single person in a single location. If you are tired of the hustle and bustle of healthcare corporations, then come join me in reimagining private home care!
This permanent, full-time position is perfect for those who are looking for a longer-term commitment, who are passionate about providing quality care, and who understand how critical it is to be reliable as a caregiver. You’ll work directly with me in a private household in Cambridge to complete personal care (dressing, toileting, bathing, etc.), perform activities of daily living (meals, housekeeping, laundry, etc.), provide mobility assistance (transferring, positioning, etc.), and carry out other similar tasks, as needed. The work is straightforward and you’ll receive all required training.
You will work an average of 42 hours per week over a four week period according to a 5-2 eight hour shift pattern. You will be expected to rotate through 7am - 3pm, 3pm - 11pm, and 11pm - 7am shifts. For the overnight shifts, you will have the flexibility to sleep in between providing care.
Your pay will be negotiated depending on shift type (e.g. overnight vs. daytime) and experience. An estimated range is $18 - $30 per hour.
Qualifications/Skills:
* Experience supporting persons with physical disabilities; experience with Muscular Dystrophy or complex needs is an asset
* Experience using ceiling and/or floor lifts (e.g. Hoyer)
* Physical capability to handle care routines that involve bending, lifting, reaching, etc.
* Fluency in English and the ability to follow directions
* Strong work ethic with impeccable dependability and punctuality
Requirements:
* Clean vulnerable sector police record check
* Valid driver’s license and reliable vehicle
* Full COVID-19 vaccination
