Private Household – Cambridge Looking for Personal Support Worker – Overnight (2 night minimum) at Cambridge, ON Full Time

This is a perfect opportunity for college/university students in the healthcare field looking for meaningful employment experience.

If you are not a student, then this is still a great job!

Description:

I am an adult with a physical disability who needs help with personal-care so that I can live my life independently. I am fully capable of communicating my needs to you and you will receive some on-the-job training.

This is a unique opportunity to provide healthcare support while benefiting from working one-on-one in a welcoming and supportive home environment.

No special education or certification is required, but PSW/healthcare certification/experience is an asset and you must have a willingness to learn, follow directions and provide personal-care support for an adult male.

Reliability is very important.

Available shifts are overnight from 10:30 PM-6:30 AM.

Shifts involve a night routine (personal hygiene, undressing, transferring to bed and positioning), positioning throughout the night and some miscellaneous tasks.

This is not a sleep shift as some overnight care is required as well as being available to help me as needed. However, care is minimal and it is a great opportunity for anyone who is taking some online courses, or just wants to catch up on some reading or watch some videos.

Successful applicants may gain additional shifts through relief coverage.

IMPORTANT: Reliability is a major factor. Do not apply for this job if consistent attendance for an overnight shift would be challenging.

Responsibilities:

• Physical ability to perform various aspects of attendant support including transfers (with mechanical lift), positioning, dressing, personal hygiene & grooming, etc.;
• Punctuality, reliability and dependability
• Good communication skills and ability to accurately follow directions from the employer;
• English-speaking;
• Ability to work cooperatively with the employer, other members of the household and with other employees;
