EXPERIENCED care giver / retired nurse, or past enrolled nurse needed.
We are looking for the ideal woman to help with personal care for our bedridden Mum/nana.
She is one hundred and one years old.
Yes that's right.
As Nana is now in the position of needing hospital care in the form of support by trained palliative carers, we are currently managing this with the help of a company and various shifts instead of the hospital care option in an aged facility as she would like to end her days at home.
Unfortunately there is gaps in the staff roll, and we need to fill these to retain continuity and keep her comfortable.
Shifts available are 2pm - 9pm daily, and some changes in shifts for morning and night care as the carer givers we have are not able to do too many days in one stretch legally either.
Please don't reply to this post UNLESS you are confident, and competent, in ALL ASPECTS of personal care at NZQA Level 3 or above.
We need to know you can show us references with experience from previous employed positions, as well as being able to fill the shifts we offer without risk of causing your own health problems, or having other interference from family or work commitments which may mean you will be unable to complete your shift.
This is a well paid position, and we look forward to hearing from anyone with the qualifications mentioned.
Alternatively if you know someone who call fill the spot that you pass on the post.
PLEASE PRIVATE MESSAGE ME YOUR REPLIES - DO NOT REPLY TO THE PUBLIC PAGE POST
many thanks

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
