We are looking for a kind, caring, and experienced Personal Assistant/Support Worker to spend quality time with our daughter and support her to enjoy fun and meaningful activities both at home and out in the community.
Our daughter uses a wheelchair and is unable to communicate verbally. She is primarily PEG fed, although she does occasionally have some food orally. She also experiences seizures from time to time. Despite her health needs, she is a very happy little girl who loves interaction, attention, and having fun with the people around her.

Duties may include supporting with personal care, PEG feeding, some oral feeding (full training will be provided), use of a hoist (training will be provided), engaging her in activities she enjoys, accompanying her on community outings, and closely monitoring her health and wellbeing. Above all, we are looking for someone who can help her have fun, enjoy new experiences, and make the most of every day.
The ideal candidate will be compassionate, reliable, attentive, and committed to building a positive relationship with our daughter while supporting her individual needs.
