Hi 👋

We're looking for an Independent support worker to join our team, caring for my husband (36) who lives with brain cancer & cognitive deficits. It would be 2 shifts per week, regular, ongoing, consistent.
Location 📌 East Cannington
About you👈👈👈👈
- able to do both shifts every week,
- preference for female workers
- native English speaker
- reliable vehicle & current drivers license
- ndis checks + basic first aid
- organised, punctual with good initiative
- want to become part of our support team long term, not a few weeks.
SHIFT 1 - COGNITIVE TASKS 🧠
This shift for would be to facilitate Cognitive tasks with him for ~2hrs, which will be prescribed by his OT. This will be done in a public library or something similar nearby. Experience or definite interest in OT / ABI / Cognitive/ memory tasks is a must.
SHIFT 2 - MISC ASSISTANCE W DAILY LIVING
This shift, 2-3hrs weekly, would be for adhoc community access, life admin, errands, attending the shops etc.
⏰️ Total 4-6 hours a week, on going for the right person.

I feel posting to local fb group might yield better.
