A Dedicated and Compassionate Caregiver for a High-Functioning Individual

Wiest Household
Orem, UT Part Time | Full Time
POSTED ON 4/7/2024

We are currently looking for a skilled, dedicated, and compassionate caregiver to provide daily assistance to a 43-year-old man living with the consequences of a spinal cord injury. Despite his physical challenges, he is a high-functioning and independent-minded individual who enjoys engaging in stimulating conversations and meaningful relationships with those around him.

The primary duties will include aiding with daily personal hygiene tasks such as showering, dressing, and general cleanliness. Additional responsibilities involve helping with bowel care at night and assisting him in getting into bed. The position does require a bit of flexibility as the need for a live-in arrangement may arise in the future, although it is not immediately necessary.

We are offering a competitive pay of $16.65 per hour to start, with the promise of future increases based on performance and longevity with our family. We believe in fair compensation for hard work and dedication. Even if you don't have direct experience in this specific type of caregiving, we encourage you to apply. Comprehensive training will be provided to ensure you feel comfortable and capable in fulfilling the responsibilities of this role.

The ideal candidate for this role will not only possess a genuine care for others and professional attitude but will also respect the dignity and personal space of the individual under their care. This is more than a job, it is an opportunity to make a significant difference in someone's life, and we are looking for someone who appreciates the gravity and honor that this role holds.

If this opportunity appeals to you and you believe you could enrich our loved one's life while helping him maintain his daily routine, we would love to hear from you. Please reply to this message or contact us at 385-225-5246 to learn more about the role or to schedule an interview.
