PSW for Short Fri/Sat Evening Shifts
Description
I am a male quadriplegic looking to hire for short evening shifts every OTHER Friday & Saturday. These are short 60-minute bed-time assistance shifts involving personal care (transferring from wheelchair to bed using a ceiling lift, positioning in bed etc.). They start at 10:30 PM and end at 11:30 PM. The wage is $25 for the hour.
LOCATION: Frontier Drive (Doon area) -- just off the 401 near Conestoga College. Please apply ONLY if you have your driver's license as described above and a vehicle to drive here. While I appreciate all interest in the position, please DO NOT apply if you would need to walk, bicycle, or take the bus to my home.
This is NOT a cash job. I am a part of the Direct Funding Program, which is a program funded by the Ministry of Health that enables adults with physical disabilities to become employers of their own helpers. So, rather than working for a bureaucratic healthcare provider, you get to work directly for and with the person with the disability (me). See www.dfontario.ca for more info.
WHAT DO I VALUE THE MOST IN AN EMPLOYEE? Reliability, reliability, reliability…and good communication. I MUST be able to count on you showing up for your shifts. If you are the type of person to call in sick often, please understand that same-day call-ins don’t work for me. While I do have a couple other people that also do regular shifts for me, this is also a part-time job for them, and they are likely not available on short notice. So I need to count on you showing up for your shifts, even if you might not be feeling the greatest on a particular day. Days off/vacation requests can always be easily accommodated with advance notice.
The shifts themselves are quite easy. If you enjoy any one of movies, concerts, traveling, sports, or Game of Thrones, we’ll have plenty to chat about. :) If you don't like any of that, then I don't know what to say...but I'm sure we'll still get along! :D So, if you are a dependable person with a positive attitude and are just looking to make some quick, easy money every now and then, PLEASE APPLY!
FYI, I love to travel, and I’m always looking for people to come with me to assist me while I’m away. So, if you are interested in all-expenses-paid travel, that is one of the possible perks to this job (although not a requirement).
Due to the typically high volume of responses, only those selected for an interview will be contacted. If you are reading this ad, this position is still available.
If you would like to apply, please respond with your resume, or if you don’t have one, tell me about your work history. Also, please respond with answers to the following questions (if you don’t, I’ll assume you haven’t read this far and aren’t that interested).
1. In complete sentences, please describe how or why this job is a good fit for you?
2. Tell me a joke.
Thanks!
