Join Our Family: Become a Private Carer for Popa at Estia Health
Seeking Compassionate Caregiver for Esteemed Elder
We are currently in search of a dedicated personal caregiver to provide additional support for an elderly gentleman with dementia, affectionately known as Popa, who resides at Estia Health Gold Coast (located in Southport). Despite the excellent care offered by this residential aged care facility, Popa requires a more personal touch to ensure his comfort and well-being, aspects that go beyond the scope of facility staff.
Role Description:
The ideal candidate will offer assistance during two critical segments of the day, from 8:00AM - 10:00AM and from 4:30PM - 6:30PM, ensuring Popa starts and ends his day with warmth and support. Your dedication will not only supplement his physical care but also provide the invaluable company he cherishes.
Key Responsibilities:
- Assist with breakfast and dinner, including preparation adjustments to meet dietary needs (soft solid foods, excluding mince moist meals, meals are provided by the facility).
- Perform and record essential observations such as blood pressure, temperature, and oxygen levels.
- Offer companionship, fostering a nurturing and patient environment.
- Ensure Popa’s comfort and safety in positioning and setting up his immediate environment, including bed adjustments and TV setup.
Requirements:
The role seeks a compassionate individual, preferably one caregiver able to cover both time blocks, though a rotation schedule is negotiable for the right candidates. While you will operate within Estia Health Gold Coast, your engagement will be directly with us, the family, as a private arrangement.
All interested applicants must be able to invoice for their services as this is a direct hire outside of Estia Health's staffing.
If you possess a heart for elder care, patience, and a keen attention to detail, we would love to hear from you. This position is not just a job, but a chance to make a significant, positive impact on a family and its cherished member. Join us in making Popa’s days not only comfortable but filled with the joy of companionship.
