Support Person Shifts
Here are the shifts I am looking to fill at present, these are shared between up to 4 people:
Mornings: 7.00am - 10.00am Monday - Friday
- You would be assisting me with showering, shaving, going to the toilet, getting dressed - what you would do yourself in the mornings.
- During the time when you were not directly assisting me you would do my share of the morning household duties, such as washing the dishes, etc.
- I would leave at 8.20 each morning to go to work and you would accompany me to my office. Upon getting me set-up at my desk you would make me breakfast and assist me to eat it at my desk.
- Necessity and time permitting I may get you to do general admin tasks for me.
Midday: 12.30pm - 2.30pm Monday - Friday
- Assisting me to eat my lunch - this may mean eating at my desk, making sandwiches and going to civic square or accompanying me to meet a friend at a cafe/restaurant.
- Assisting me in the bathroom, etc.
- Necessity and time permitting I may get you to do general admin tasks for me.
Evenings: 5.00pm - 8.00pm Monday - Sunday
- This shift will vary depending on what I feel like doing. I could be going home to bath Amber, going for after work drinks, meeting a friend for dinner, going to the supermarket, going home to cook dinner or doing personal/household tasks which I have not otherwise had time to do. Therefore, your role will vary during this shift.
Weekends: 9.00am - 12.00pm Saturday and Sunday
- Getting up and showered and all that normal morning stuff. Maybe make breakfast for Sarah and I or help me do my share of the housework or other things I cannot do by myself.
The above shifts will be shared between a group of support people. Due to my speech impediment, I find that people need to do at least three shifts per week in order for them to gain competency in understanding and assisting me.
