Personal Support Worker - Orleans, ON - CAD$162.00/week

Description

About the Client:

We're supporting a warm, independent-minded older woman who wants to stay in her own home. She is living with cancer that is currently in remission. Her strength and mobility are declining, and she uses a walker and a cane.

She no longer drives much, and stairs, including the ones to the basement laundry, are difficult. Her family is closely involved and visits regularly. They want a reliable, friendly presence on the days they can't be there.

She is a morning person and tires in the afternoon. English is fine, but her family is French-speaking and bilingual, so French is a bonus.

Responsibilities:

- Help her get up and dressed in the morning
- Prepare lunch and make sure it's ready for her
- Provide light housekeeping: tidy kitchen, bathroom and bedroom
- Strip and change bed linens and do laundry, including carrying it to the basement washer/dryer
- Pick up the mail from half a street away
- Run errands and groceries without the client (she cannot be transported in the caregiver's car; receipts are submitted to the office)
- Remind her to take her medications and check they are set out properly
- Offer personal care support as needed, such as help in and out of the shower
- Watch for changes in mobility, energy or well-being, and report them to the care team and family

What We're Looking For:

- Certified PSW (or equivalent) with experience supporting seniors with limited mobility
- Comfortable with walker and cane safety and fall prevention
- Patient, observant and respectful of her independence
- Reliable and punctual, as this is a consistent, long-term placement with the same caregiver every visit
- French/English bilingual preferred




- Clear communicator who can give honest updates to the family

Schedule:

- Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM (2-hour visits)
- Some flexibility on timing; mornings between 7:00 and 11:00 work best
- Afternoons are not suitable, as she rests
- Starting with 3 days a week, with potential to add days or hours as her needs grow
- Initial virtual meet-and-greet with the family before starting
- Location: Orleans, Ontario

Additional Considerations

About the Client:

We're looking for a kind, dependable PSW to support a warm, independent-minded woman in her 80s who wants to stay in her own home. She is living with a progressive illness, so her strength and mobility are declining. She uses a walker and a cane, is most alert and energetic in the mornings, and tires in the afternoon.





Her adult children are closely involved and visit weekly, but they can't be there every day. They want the comfort of knowing she is safe, well cared for and enjoying her days. The family is bilingual (English and French).

Responsibilities:

- Help her get up and dressed for the day
- Prepare her lunch and make sure it is ready for her
- Remind her to take her medications and check that they are set up properly
- Strip the bed and do laundry (the washer/dryer is downstairs, which is hard for her to manage)
- Do light housekeeping to keep the home tidy and sanitary (bedroom, kitchen, bathroom)
- Bring in the mail from half a street away
- Run errands and pick up groceries on her behalf. You cannot transport her in a vehicle. Submit receipts for reimbursement.
- Give personal care support such as help in and out of the shower, as needed
- Provide friendly company and watch for any changes in her condition, reporting concerns to the family and CareQuilt

What We're Looking For:

- Certified PSW
- Patient, respectful and observant, with a gentle and encouraging approach
- Comfortable with mobility support, stairs (laundry is in the basement) and a client with declining energy
- Reliable, punctual and professional. Consistency matters, as the client will see the same caregiver every visit.
- Able to adapt as her needs change, since visits may increase over time
- French is an asset but not required

Schedule:

- Starting at 3 visits per week: Monday, Wednesday and Friday
- 2 hours per visit, ideally 8:00 to 10:00 AM
- Some flexibility on start time between 7:00 AM and noon. Afternoons are not suitable.
- May grow to 4 days a week as her needs increase
- Ongoing, long-term placement with the same caregiver
