ShareI became a quadriplegic 2015 after a spinal court injury. Due to my disability, I rely on daily care from my care team to assist me with all activities of daily living and household support. I currently have a great team of caregivers, but I am looking for one or two more people to fill a couple shifts/gaps schedule. I am looking for someone to work Wednesday and Thursday mornings (6:30 - 11 am) and someone to work several evenings during the week/weekend (8:30 - 10:30 PM). About me: I live with my wife in a home near the University of Washington. I have a full-time job in real estate and enjoy working, reading, and spending time with family and friends. All of this is possible for me with the support of my great care team. I receive care every morning and every evening: Monday through Friday morning shifts are 6:30 AM – 11 AM; evening shifts are from 8:30 PM – 10:30 PM Saturday and Sunday shifts are 8 AM – 12 PM; evening shifts are from 9 PM – 11 PM About my caregivers: currently the team has 5 part-time people who have worked for us anywhere from one year to more than 8 years. Each caregiver is communicative, reliable, and works well individually and as part of a team. My wife and I focus on creating a positive work environment, and my caregivers are focused on providing me with as much independence as possible. About my care: I have one caregiver work each shift every morning and every evening. My morning care involves transfers (with a ceiling lift), full assist shower, bowel program (every other day), dressing, cooking, stretching upper and lower extremities, housekeeping and other supportive tasks. Driving my wheelchair van is often also part of this shift. I also have a caregiver work each evening for a couple hours (8:30 PM to 10:30 PM), and this role includes household chores, exercise support, and transferring me from my chair to bed. About you: I want to build an engaging, respectful, and fun work environment for us both, so a positive, proactive attitude is a must. Must be incredibly reliable. Prior experience with SCI is a plus but not necessary for a candidate with the right personality. In your response to this ad, please tell me your work availability and how many hours/week you hope to work! Great compensation for the right candidates.
