My name is Keegan and I am looking for two more assistants to join my team, providing me support 24/7. There are a range of hours available; however you would need to commit to minimum 3 shifts a week in order to ensure consistency and continuity of support. Parts of the day are double staffed (with some flexibility required to allow for outings).
I am particularly looking for people who are authentic and genuine, who will want to commit to support me long term.
Are you passionate about supporting someone who needs assistance in order to connect with others and be part of society? Are you great at communicating and are you sensitive to others' needs?
You will be supporting me with all aspects of everyday life, including personal care, community outings and helping me lead a super life!
Be prepared for something new, different: you'll also help me find awesome flat friends/mates and create a place with lots of good times living together.
