Halifax, Canada GERIANNE B HULL (INDIE PUBLISHER) Full time

**Please note: This job is a little unique. I hardly ever hire cca's, psw's, nurses, or any such categories as my needs are not medical (and you're not likely to be my grand exceptioon.)**

**Instead, I prefer to hire people with no experience so that I can train my staff myself to the ways I want things done. This job IS NOT in a facility. It's in a private apartment in a building.**
- **This job offers a welcoming, inclusive workplace, focusing on diversity and equality. An open mind, an easy going attitude and flexibility are key. NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED. Just open-mindedness and a willingness to learn and take directions.**_

Employer Information and Job Description:
I am an adult female with a physical disability. I am highly intelligent and live a full and active life. I am a writer, Indie Publisher, and Disability Rights Advocate. I own three businesses. The irony about me is that although I am extremely independent mentally, physically I need assistance with pretty much everything; from getting up, to eating, to using the washroom, to daily chores and errands. None of the assistance I need is of a medical nature. It’s stuff you do for yourself everyday.

This is where you come in: I am currently looking to hire 2-3 extremely reliable people to work my various shifts.

Location: West End Halifax, very close to Halifax Shopping Centre.

Hourly Wage: Starting at $19.00 per hour and likely to increase,+ 4% vacation pay added to each pay. For more details about pays, please see "Pay Information" on the website.

Note: Specific shift preferences may be able to be arranged after job familiarity is achieved, but my onboarding process is often to start new staff off on the easier shifts (afternoons &; bedtimes) until I feel comfortable with the new staff.

**Job Types**: Part-time, Permanent

Pay: $21.00 per hour

Expected hours: 12 - 25 per week

**Benefits**:

- Casual dress
- Company events
- On-site parking
- Tuition reimbursement

Flexible language requirement:

- French not required

Schedule:

- 4 hour shift
- Evening shift
- Every Weekend
- Holidays
- Morning shift

Application question(s):

- Have you read this part of my job details "MUST BE comfortable in assisting the employer with personal hygiene and cleanliness in all washroom related needs, including wiping front and back." Do you fully understand what this means and will you be comfortable doing this?
