Personal Caregiver (Full Time Position)
I am a physically handicapped 22-year-old male person, preparing for my entry exam for university, and I am looking for a dedicated, socially engaged English speaking male personal caregiver/assistant to support me in daily life. I have a disability called “spinal muscular atrophy”, which makes me practically immobile and dependant on an electric wheelchair. I need a reliable person who is actively engaged in assisting me and feels comfortable in a family-like environment. There is no prior medical qualification or experience required.
Job Description
· Daily support: I need help being taken out of bed, with personal hygiene like showering, brushing teeth and using the restroom. I also need help with eating. There are periods with nothing to do while remaining available. Assistance is needed throughout the day, but you’ll have longer periods with nothing to do while remaining available
· Night assistance: At night, I use a breathing support machine and need to be turned 1-2 times. A private bedroom is provided nearby and you do not need to stay awake – just standby, if I need you
· Other tasks: Helping me with positioning, making a basic meal, or arranging electronics like my lap-top, driving me to the train station and accompanying me to school. There are longer relaxed periods, when I am studying or gaming, where you can do your own thing and are just on stand-by. I also need company when going out with friends, dinners and watching a movie.
What I Offer:
Above average salary package with several extras
Food and accommodation covered during working hours
A furnished room in an apartment is available nearby at a reduced rate on free days.
Opportunities to accompany me on national and international trips (all costs covered during this time)
What You Should Bring:
· Reliability, commitment and a sense for details
· Comfort in a close working relationship.
· Good communicative skills in English (or German)
· A valid driving license (compulsory, as I need to move around in a Minivan).
· Neatness, consciousness for personal hygiene
· Basic cooking skills
· Organisational skills and willingness to help (e.g. daily tasks like tidying and helping with the dishes).
• EU Citizenship
