Personal Assistants needed - Hillcrest area.

POSITIONS AVAILABLE

My face as used on advertising poster for Personal Assistants

for reliable, trustworthy, understanding,

very patient, responsible, non-smoking,

fun-loving, caring, emotionally stable, people

to assist an intelligent (apparently likeable!) male with Cerebral Palsy (me!)

in a north-eastern Adelaide suburb.

Formal "qualifications" &\or experience with people with disabilities is NOT needed.

Mature young people are particularly encouraged & welcome to apply to take advantage of this rewarding opportunity.

(If you’re thinking, "This isn’t for me", but you seem to fit the criteria, you could be pleasantly surprised!
You may also know of someone else who could be interested in, and suitable for, this position.)

Apart from being a backup, they will probably be required to work on at least one day per week
(although possibly negotiable) for up to approximately 3 or 4 hours at a time. They will be required
to START work GENERALLY between 4 p.m. & 6 p.m., - usually at 5:30 p.m. - and on rare occasions, later &/or any other time on a weekly routine roster, depending on my schedule. Sundays’ workstart-time could also be any time during the afternoon.

Good Pay. (Bonuses are given. More work could well result for the right person.)
        Duties include feeding me hot meals, preparing drinks and snacks, bed making,
                              plus other general home and personal care tasks.
    Heavy lifting, toileting and showering assistance is NOT generally required.
Good working environment and conditions in a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere - most times!

Applicants should (among other things):-

Show an ability and willingness to become famiiar with "speech with a difference".
(The way in which I speak sometimes presents a challange to accurate understanding.
It is thus suggested that, to avoid possible undue embarrassment, those having English
as a second language should perhaps seriously consider whether it is worth apply for
this work UNLESS they speak and understand English extremely well.)

Be able to be telephoned and be very punctual. (Having a current driver's licence and a vehicle or any other form of independent, reliable private transport is strongly preferred.)
Be able to follow instructions, have a good memory and pay attention to detail.
Have a "common sense" and flexible approach to work and to times and hours worked.
Having an out-going nature, a genuine interest in other people, broad mind, & a good sense of humour would DEFINITELY be an advantage!
