Work that Matters

Berkeley CA

Description

Heĺlo! I'm a disabled woman who uses a wheelchair and am hiring for a personal care attendant for a morning/day position, schedule specifics discussed upon inquiry. The position is for approximately 35 hours/week. The work is physically active, and primarily consists of assisting me with physical care associated with my disability. Given the personal nature of the work, it requires a body positive attitude. The work environment is friendly to women and non-binary folks. Applicants must be comfortable movers. While no experience in this particular kind of work is needed, strong candidates must have a demonstrated history of good judgment and responsibility. It's a very physical position, so applicants must be comfortable squatting, bending, standing, and lifting. Candidates with prior positions requiring movement / dance, multi-tasking, clear communication, detail orientation and time management skills are preferred. A friendly and compassionate personality and being fairly logical are definitely helpful. To do this work a person must be fairly fluent in English. The position is a good fit for sharp people wanting to supplement their incomes, dancers, community activists, students, folks seeking an entrance into health related fields, etc. All applicants should have strict COVID-19 prevention practices. This is a long-term position, and includes shifts through holidays. I live in Berkeley; ideally applicants live in or close to Berkeley. If you'd like to hear more about the positions, schedules and/or work environment, please email indicating why you are interested in this work, your COVID-19 practices, and a short detailing of your professional history.
