Personal carers wanted who have had some bowel care experience to work for a 35 year old C4 Quadriplegic with no movement from the neck down. I live in my own house and have my parents living with me.

I AM WILLING TO PAY $17 PER HOUR CASH or if you prefer to go through a company thats also fine, it's totally up to you...

I lives in the North/Western suburbs of Melbourne Australia (Taylors Lakes). Shifts would be Friday and Saturday mornings.

On a bowel morning shift would start at 8:30am and generally finish between 11:30am to 12:30pm, all depending on how my bowel routine goes.
On a non Bowel morning the shift would start at 9am and these days generally take up to 2 hours to 3 hours on a non bowel morning.

Because my bowel routine is every second day, it means that one week the bowel day will fall on a Friday and obviously the following day which would be Saturday won't be a bowel day and then the following week it alternates.

To be succeful in this position you will need the following attributes:

● Living no further then 30 minutes away from Taylors Lakes.
Familiar with bowel care, such as manual stimulation (or more recently the term has changed to digital stimulation).

● GENUINE, HONEST and PUNCTUAL. This is very important. It is not appropriate to take to many days off work and it's vital that the worker comes on time. In a nut shell I am after someone who enjoys working and is totally honest with me thats all.

● A willingness to fill in other shifts with notice of course.

● Clean and tidy.


If you think you fit the description above, please send me a email on here...
