Full-time live-out role, flexible hours, work with one person, ideal for certified caregivers with experience, offering a negotiable weekly salary.
Simon’s Senior Caregiver position offers a rewarding opportunity for those seeking full-time employment with flexibility. The role is live-out, requires 35 to 40 hours per week, and comes with a negotiable salary based on the applicant’s experience and credentials. The ideal candidate is expected to have at least one year of paid experience and must possess a valid driver’s license. Experience with senior care, and the ability to communicate in Abkhaz, are both vital, opening the role to dedicated professionals looking to make a meaningful impact.
Key Responsibilities and Daily Duties
Daily responsibilities revolve around assisting an elderly woman in her home. Tasks include personal care, medication management, and supporting mobility needs.
Additional duties involve light housekeeping, shopping, meal preparation, running errands, and transportation to appointments.
The ideal candidate should be comfortable managing special needs such as dementia, diabetes, or mobility impairment.
Professional certifications like First Aid, CPR, or advanced senior care certificates will be highly beneficial for this job.
Occasional overnight stays or extended visits may be required based on family needs, so flexibility is valued.
Advantages of This Position
One significant advantage is working one-on-one with a single senior, allowing caregivers to build genuine rapport and tailor care.
The negotiable salary offers candidates the chance to discuss pay that matches their skills, experience, and certifications.
Drawbacks to Consider
Applicants comfortable with pets are ideal, as animals are present in the home, which may be challenging for those with allergies.
Language requirements (spoken Abkhaz) and lack of smoking tolerance may exclude some otherwise qualified candidates.
Final Verdict
This position offers stable full-time employment with manageable responsibilities and the possibility to negotiate salary. Caregivers with strong senior care credentials and flexibility will find this role fulfilling and well-matched to their skills, provided they meet the language and non-smoking requirements.
