Amazing and unique opportunity to join a team consisting of THREE CAREGIVERS to provide 1:1 care for a single client in her own personal residence. We are reposting this position because the last candidate didn't work out. We are looking to fill our THURS, FRI, & SAT position. Must be available to work all three days. No substitutions - other caregiver days are already set. Because of the intimate nature of the position (assistance with bathing and toileting) FEMALE APPLICANTS ONLY. Only applicants already local to the Phoenix area will be considered.
Position is to assist a woman in her 70’s who suffered a major stroke. She has significant weakness and mobility issues. Strong transfer experience with a gait belt is required. Position is to assist her with all ADL’s including transfers in/out of bed and to/from the couch, toileting, getting dressed, showers, making meals, and doing her laundry. Only one caregiver is scheduled to work each day. The other caregivers cover Sun, Mon, Tues, and Wed.
Days/Hours: Thurs, Fri, and Sat. 12 hr shifts from 7am to 7pm, with Thurs., Fri., Sat. evenings/nights on-call (on-call evenings consist of keeping a baby monitor on overnight in case she needs emergency assistance). She very rarely needs overnight help, but when needed those hours are paid at an additional hourly rate. Monthly grocery shopping/errands are divided between the caregivers.
Live-In Position: This is a LIVE-IN position. A significant portion of the compensation for this job is in the form of tax-free room and board. When wages and tax-free room and board are combined, feels like the equivalent of $80k/year (for only 3 days/week of work). See attached benefit summary in photos. Position comes with a provided private BRAND NEW on-site 540 sq ft apartment located in the property's detached guest house for the caregiver's full-time regular residence/living. This is NOT a shared apartment.
No dogs in the apartments. Housing is provided as a regular residence for the Caregivers; offers to reside off-site and commute for shifts will not be considered. We are looking for someone with some degree of flexibility with days/hours to potentially pick up some additional hours/shifts (as needed) in case another caregiver is out sick, on vacation, etc. Caregiver apartments are located approx. 10 ft from her private casita. Large lot in a great neighborhood, private parking. Great opportunity to have all living expenses covered with consistent pay PLUS have 4 days off per week. Must successfully complete 3-week trial-period before on-site housing is provided.
PHOTOS: We are finishing construction on the apartments and they are just a few weeks out from being complete. Posting photos show renderings of what the interior of the apartment will look like once complete. Exterior photo shows current construction progress and the exterior entry doors for all three apartments.
