Are you friendly, patient and responsible?
We are looking for a reliable and compassionate person to help a woman with a disability in Beachlands. She needs help with many parts of her day, most of your role would be helping her get dressed and ready for the day, ensuring that she sticks to her routine and prompting her when she gets distracted. Her main meals are already prepared, but you will help her get them ready and make sure she eats well throughout the day. She uses a walker and wheelchair to get around and does need some help with personal care tasks.
To be the right person for the role you will be compassionate, considerate, patient and fun loving. We appreciate a job well done, so your ability to pay attention to detail, solve problems and stay upbeat will always be welcome. Some great people skills and basic IT skills are vital and a full drivers licence would be great, but not essential.
While we would love someone with caregiving/support work experience, we are really happy to chat with anyone who is motivated to provide meaningful and quality support to this woman.
We need a variety of shifts filled across the week, so regardless of your availability we would love to chat. Most shifts are two hours in length at her home in Beachlands. Our priorities are mornings (about 6.30am – 8.30am), but there are also hours throughout the morning and early afternoon that we need help with. Your flexibility to fill in gaps when other people are away would always be appreciated. $30 per hour.
If this sounds like the job you have been looking for, please email jobs@flyingkites.org.nz or send me a message
Flying Kites helps people with disabilities find amazing people to support them to live their lives and achieve their dreams. #FlyingkitesNZ
