Personal (Care) Assistants (NO experience strongly preferred.) in GILLES PLAINS, South Australia

Personal (Care) Assistants (NO experience strongly
Personal (Care) Assistants (NO experience strongly

A fantastic opportunity exists for a reliable, trustworthy, understanding, very patient, caring, non-smoking, emotionally stable, responsible, fit, fun-loving, healthy person (preferably in or around the Hillcrest area) to assist an astute (apparently likeable!) male with Cerebral Palsy in my own home.
A choice of week-day and week-end mid-morning and night work (preferably from around 8:00 p.m.) is available. Core tasks range from aiding me out of and into bed; toileting; breakfasting; partially dressing and setting me up at my computer for the day; other general home tasks; to feeding me a nightly hot meal and perhaps aiding to shower! Durations range from around 75 minutes on week-end mornings, to up to 2 hours on week-day mornings and 3.5+ hours on week-nights. Occasionally, I may also need assistance around 3 or 4 p.m. if I am feeling unwell and need a rest. Assistance into bed (preferably after around 11 p.m. usually on Fridays) after returning from going out about once a week at night, is also needed. Therefore, it would be extremely adventageous if Applicants live in or around the Hillcrest area and have a very high level of availability!
Mature young folk are particularly encouraged and 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! The most suitable people are often those who are not looking for, or are not aware of, this kind of work. You may also know of someone else who could be interested in, and suitable for, this work.)
To save your and my time, before applying, PLEASE read this ad VERY CAREFULLY and consider the distance that you may need to travel to assist me. Regrettably, because I am physically extremely slow (typing around an average of 4 w.p.m.) it is physically impossible for me to respond to all applicants. Therefore, if I think that an applicant is unsuitable or lives too far from me to be financially viable or practical for them, please accept my apologies for not responding.
Rewarding pay & Bonuses. Pay rates (which currently generally range from $26 to $50 per hour) vary depending on the time and day worked; and the kind of assistance ? i.e. personal care versus Social assistance or cleaning. (More work usually results for the right kind of person.)
Good working environment and conditions in a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere - most times!
APPLICANTS SHOULD (among other things):-
* Show an ability and willingness to become familiar with ?speech with a difference?. (The way in which I speak sometimes presents a challenge to accurate understanding; It is thus VERY STRONGLY SUGGESTED that, to save potential embarrassment and time, those having a hearing impairment or English as a second language need NOT apply for this work UNLESS they speak and understand English EXCEPTIONALLY WELL.)
* Be able to be telephoned and be very punctual. (Having a vehicle or any other form of independent, reliable private transport is VERY STRONGLY preferred.)
* Be able to follow instructions, have a good attitude and 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, pleasant disposition, a genuine interest in other people, broad mind, a good sense of humour and inter-personal skills would DEFINITELY be an advantage!
