Halifax, Canada GBH Indie Publishing & Multimedia Projects Full time

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: $17.50 per hour to start,+ 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.
