This is an exciting opportunity to be an integral part of the support network for a middle aged woman. This is a key role in maintaining and building on a “good life” for KT. ?KT is a very active and intelligent woman with a great curiosity about the world and people. She has an excellent sense of humour and playfulness. KT has some fears which at times interfere with showing people her wonderful qualities. KT needs someone who can keep pace with her active life and help her to maintain and expand her social network. She also needs someone who will be able to make her feel safe, who acknowledges her intelligence and supports her to be as independent as possible. You will be living in KT’s home and need to respect her personal space in the house.
Good coping skills in relation to your emotional regulation would be important for your own self care. A good personal network is key to maintaining your health. ?As a cornerstone in KT’s support network, it will be crucial to be an honest communicator and to be willing to take time to communicate with the key people in KT’s life. A collaborative style of working is also important to working as a part of a team. ?This position is best suited for a single caregiver, however, a couple would be considered, based on a “goodness of fit” or right relationship”.
Compensation will be a tax-free salary with room and board. KT will have staffed support Tuesday-Thursday 9am-3pm, Friday 9am-2pm, Saturday 9am-9pm and overnight, and Sunday 9am-9pm
