Seeking companion and caregiver for 20 y/o quadriplegic (Random Lake)

Vacancy expired!

This is a full time (40 hours) third shift position, however it is important you establish a bond with Philip prior to starting position which will require several weeks of daytime shadowing and visits only with part time hours. The official full time hours will start mid April. You MUST be okay with starting slow, if philip feels no connection to you, you will not be able to keep the job. It is most important he is comfortable with who's caring for him. Third shift hours are flexible as far as starting and ending time, we are willing to work with the right person. Person must have experience as a caregiver, preferably with quadriplegics & emotional behavior challenges.

The night time shift consists of checking in with philip when he dings (dinger system set up in house), hanging out with him when he's up for the company, giving medication via g-tube when he requests, administering his fluids throughout night via g-tube system, readjusting him in his bed when he's uncomfortable, assuring his bipap systems working throughout night, light house keeping, and once every couple months there is occasional use of a cough assist & suction machine. If you dont have experience with bipap, cough assist, or g-tube we are willing to train the right person. During the night time hours, caregivers are welcome to bring whatever they want to fill the free time (computer, books, games, crafts, etc).

Must be comfortable with dogs, phil has an emotional support chihuahua, other dogs also reside in residence. Philip has 8 other brother's and sisters who are all adults but visit so during the days there can be a lot of activity throughout house. There are many different personality types among the siblings & in this house so we are seeking an open minded caregiver who can go with the flow of the house with a non-judgmental attitude. (Open minded = being accepting of: lgbtq community, medical CBD use, pets, etc)

If you feel this job may be a good fit for you, please reach out to me via email. Send a resume and also a statement on why your interested in the job, what experience you have, and your contact information.

Assuming that goes well and i feel your a good fit, we will set up a face to face interview and take it from there.

Hope to hear from you soon!
