Job Description
I am a 36 year old disabled man looking to hire new personal assistants to help me in my apartment in Champaign on set weekly dates. Duties include but are not limited to helping prepare meals, use the restroom, transfer in and out of bed, shower, and get dressed. Shifts that I currently need covered are available throughout the week, but are most needed on weekends, nights, and overnights. No previous healthcare experience is required. Applicants must be able to lift and carry at least 70 lbs, consent to a standard background check, and be legally qualified to work in the United States. Punctuality and attention to detail are extremely necessary. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to make a little extra spending money. Individuals seeking future employment in the healthcare field will also have a chance to experience some hands-on work with a care recipient.
