About Our Client
Our client suffered a spinal cord injury and is therefore a full-time wheelchair user. She is looking for a calm and reliable individual to join her team of PAs. This role will encompass all aspects of daily living support and personal care - from washing and cooking to transfers and using medical equipment such as ventilators.
Our client leads an active social life, regularly meeting up with friends and family, as well as running her own business. She lives in her own home, so respect for the house and her privacy are extremely important to her. Prior care experience is desired for this role, however, full training in her particular needs will be provided. A can-do attitude and dynamic personality to work is more important than care experience to our client.
About the Job
This is a fantastic opportunity to ensure the client can carry on with her busy work and social life, so she can carry on to live life to her fullest. We are seeking a support worker who can match an active, social lifestyle for our client.
