Personal Support Worker - Bracebridge, Ontario - CAD$180.00/week

Description About the Client: We're supporting a warm, independent senior woman in Bracebridge who lives alone in a condo with her beloved 14-year-old dog. She is mentally sharp and active, but a recent shoulder fracture (right arm) and a painful foot/ankle make bending, lifting and everyday tasks difficult. She needs short-term support while she recovers and values friendly, respectful company.

Responsibilities:

- Personal care: help with showering and hair washing
- Laundry: load and unload the washing machine and move clothes
- Light housekeeping: vacuuming, dusting and tidying
- Kitchen help: load and unload the dishwasher
- Dog walking: a gentle ~30-minute walk with a senior dog. The client may join for a short stretch, but the caregiver handles the leash
- Companionship and keeping an eye on safety throughout the visit

What We're Looking For:

- Experience with personal care and bathing assistance (PSW or similar background preferred)
- Comfortable with household tasks and walking a small, older dog
- Patient, gentle and respectful of the client's independence
- Careful with a recovering shoulder: no pulling or lifting on the right arm, and attentive to fall risk
- Reliable, punctual and communicative
- Based in or near Bracebridge with reliable transportation

Expectations:

- Arrive on time and follow the client's preferences and routines
- Keep the client and home protected and comfortable
- Report any concerns or changes in condition to CareQuilt promptly
- Be open to a meet-and-greet before starting

Schedule:

- Two visits per week: Monday and Thursday

- Short-term placement of about 1 month
- Start as soon as a good match is found

Additional Considerations About the client: A friendly, independent and mentally sharp senior who lives alone in a tidy condo. She is recovering from a fall that broke her right shoulder/upper arm. A sore ankle and foot also limit her bending and long walks. She needs short-term help (about 4 weeks) while she heals. Her 14-year-old dog is a big part of her life, and keeping his routine going matters a lot to her.

Responsibilities:

- Personal care: help with showering and hair washing (about twice a week)
- Laundry: loading and unloading the washing machine
- Light housekeeping: vacuuming, dusting, loading and unloading the dishwasher
- Dog walking: gentle walks of about 30 minutes for a senior dog. The client may walk a short stretch alongside you, but you will handle the leash.
- Companionship: friendly conversation and encouragement during visits
- Report any pain, falls or changes in condition to the care team

What we're looking for:

- PSW, HCA or PAB with personal care experience
- Gentle, careful handling around an injured right arm and shoulder, especially during bathing
- Comfortable with pets and patient with an older dog
- Reliable, punctual and respectful of the client's independence
- Warm, patient communicator who takes initiative on household tasks

Schedule:

- Mondays and Thursdays, 3 hours per visit
- About 4 weeks, starting as soon as possible
- Times to be confirmed with the client
