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

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
0% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
0% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
