I am a male quadriplegic looking to hire for WEDNESDAY MORNINGS every week and SUNDAY MORNINGS every OTHER week. These shifts involve personal care (showering, dressing, grooming, bowel/bladder care etc.).

SHIFT LENGTHS: The weekly Wednesday shifts alternate each week between 3-hour and 4-hour shifts. The biweekly Sunday shifts will always be 3-hour shifts.

SHIFT START TIMES: For the weekly Wednesday shifts, my preference would be to start at either 7 AM or 7:30 AM each week. For the biweekly Sunday shifts, my preference would be to start anytime between 6 AM and 7:30 AM (so if you are the type of person that likes to go to church on Sunday mornings, I’d be happy to start earlier so that you’d have time to get to your church in the morning after my shift. We can discuss).

START DATE: ASAP

LOCATION: Frontier Drive (Doon area) -- just off the 401 near Conestoga College. Please apply ONLY if you have your driver's license as described above and a vehicle to drive here. While I appreciate all interest in the position, please DO NOT apply if you would need to walk, bicycle, or take the bus to my home.

THIS IS NOT A CASH JOB. I am funded through the provincial Direct Funding program, which is a program that allows individuals with disabilities living in our own homes to become employers of our own attendants. See dfontario.ca if you’d like to read more about it.

WHAT DO I VALUE THE MOST IN AN EMPLOYEE? Reliability, reliability, reliability…and good communication.



I MUST be able to count on you showing up for your shifts. If you are the type of person to call in sick often, please understand that same-day call-ins don’t work for me. While I do have 3 other people that also do regular morning shifts for me, this is also a part time job for them, and they are likely not available if you text me in the morning looking for same-morning coverage because you are not feeling well. It’s far more likely I’ll be able to find coverage with 12-24 hours notice, but in the event I can’t, I need to be able to count on you showing up for your shift, even if you might not be feeling the greatest on a particular day. Days off/vacation requests can always be easily accommodated with plenty of ADVANCE notice.

Due to the typically high volume of responses, only those selected for an interview will be contacted. If you are reading this said, the shifts are still available. Please apply!

Thanks.

James Glasbergen
