Our client Perth Care and Companion Company (PCCC) is recruiting Care Companions in the Southern Suburbs (Secret Harbour & Surrounding Areas).
Perth Care + Companion Company supports individuals and their busy families by providing and specializing in a long day, overnight, and live-in care.
By working for Perth Care + Companion Company:- You get to work with and learn from fabulous people with amazing stories of their journey in life
- You get to work with like minded colleagues with amazing back up and support
- You can work a few hours or a lot of hours – it’s up to you as long as you can be consistent
- We pay above award….now what’s not to like about that?
As a Care Companion, your responsibilities will include a wide range of activities that support older Australians and their families to remain independent in their homes. This can include taking people to medical appointments, and social events, providing some personal care, and light domestic support.
Experience and requirements of the role:
- You may have qualifications in caring (cert 3 or 4) or nursing (but experience and the other stuff above are way more important)
- You are experienced in providing hands on care to others (yes the clients may be naked)
- You understand the challenges clients face with declining health conditions which affect their physical ability and cognition
- You have, or are willing to obtain, a first aid certificate
- You have a driving license (and a reliable car)
- You have a smart phone and are not afraid to use it
The other stuff:
- We have Care Companions who stay with clients 24 hours for between 2 -5 days a week. This is a live in position for the duration of the roster, yes you need to sleep over and you will have your own room. You will have some time to yourself but need to be ‘on hand’ for the client.
- We have 8 hour rotational shifts for staff who want to work mornings, evenings or nights.
- We have very flexible hours for Care Companions who can only work a few hours here or there or need the flexibility of being able to juggle life’s other commitments (like children, families and pets!)
