MORE GREAT JOB OPPORTUNITIES WORKING FOR A DISABLED STUDENT LIVING ON CAMPUS IN THE FALL

I'm starting to recruit some PCAs to work with me this school year. I am a quadriplegic due to a spinal cord injury.  I can move my arms/wrists but I'm unable to move my fingers. I am a full-time wheelchair user. Some things I need help with might include (but not limited to): light housekeeping, stretching, grooming, dressing, getting in/out of bed and some set up for showering. 



I hope you also like dogs because I have a service dog and you may need to help me do some of the things that I cannot do for her such as cleaning her ears. 

Complete training is provided so experience isn't a requirement. I use a lift system for safe transfers (safe for you and me) but you still need to be reasonably strong to handle cares like dressing. 



A little about me… I’m a Journalism major that likes a broad variety of music, gaming, and basketball. Since I'm from Minnesota, I am also looking forward to a snowless school year again where I can enjoy the weather without getting stuck in the snow.


It's great experience and great on your resume if you're pursuing medical and healthcare careers. (It'll look much better than retail or waitressing!) Email me with a paragraph about you (hobbies/interests, education, etc), your availability to work and when you would be available for an interview! I would like to start interviewing as soon as possible and even earlier via phone, email etc., would be great. 




Lastly, it is required you pass a background study and be fingerprinted if hired. Above all you must be reliable so I can actually get to class on time.

 Most shifts are two or three hours and I do live on campus so it's a quick walk from classes. 

Pay is $12/hour to start, so if you are interested, contact me at: 

ethomson@email.arizona.edu

SEVERAL CONVENIENT SHORT TIME BLOCK, PAID POSITIONS TO WORK FOR A DISABLED STUDENT LIVING ON CAMPUS

LOOKING FOR A JOB FALL SEMESTER?  MAYBE AN EVENING JOB AND YOU LIVE ON CAMPUS?

SEVERAL CONVENIENT SHORT TIME BLOCK, PAID POSITIONS TO WORK FOR A DISABLED STUDENT LIVING ON CAMPUS

I am a male student and will be attending Arizona full-time living on campus beginning this fall. I’m working toward a history major and enjoy reading listening to the radio. I have diffuse low muscle tone and am dependent on a wheelchair for movement. I'm looking for PCA(s) to help me on a daily basis. I need help transferring from chair to bed, chair to toilet, and chair to shower chair. A mechanical lift is available. I also require assistance in getting dressed every day.

·         PCA(S) would help me get up in the morning (around 7:45AM for 9AM classes)  Weekend morning time blocks flexible

·         I am looking for PCA(s) to help me with bathroom use at around noon and in the afternoon and evening. The bathroom time is flexible, as long as it is not interrupting or delaying class.

·         I also need help to get in bed at nighttime. Getting red for bed typically takes about half an hour.

Both my Mom and I will provide training, so you will not be going in blind. I am very talkative, so I look forward to getting to know all my assistants. Reliability is key, because without you I will end up missing classes.

Email me at jacknew12@gmail.com if you are interested. Tell me a little about yourself as well as why you are interested in this job. An over the phone interview will also be conducted. You must pass a background check, which includes fingerprinting (as required by the state of Minnesota, where I am from).​

Customer Care – Physical Therapy Technician

Job Details

Job Location                         Tucson, AZ

Job Category                        Customer Care – Physical Therapy Technician

Position Type                        Part Time or Full Time

Description

As a Physical Therapy Technician or, as we like to call it, an Exercise Specialist, you will be responsible for all functions of the technician/specialist position kit and caboodle.  The ideal candidate is a stickler for details who works with a sense of urgency when it comes to servicing our patients.

At MI (Maximum Impact), we like to hire the most talented people for our teams, and then give them the freedom to do their jobs.  Here, we work hard – but we have lots of fun doing it.  So if you like an exciting, collaborative work environment, you’ll fit right in.

Responsibilities:

·         Keep your eye on the ball.  Assist patients in safe practice of their activities.

·         Be an exercise expert – learn extensively from your therapists about exercises and functional movement.  Seamlessly act as an extension of the therapists – anyone dizzy yet…

·         Be a best friend - build rapport and maintain a friendly, but professional relationship with patients.

·         Get ready to fly by the seat of your pants.  This role is ever-evolving – so flexibility is a must, we may occasionally ask you to do a few jumping jacks, or at least try some things outside of your wheelhouse.

Abilities and Knowledge:

·         Be organized, ahead of schedule, communicative, and accountable – in short, own your role entirely, while being open to critiques, suggestions, and new ideas.

·         Remain cool under pressure.  Things can get pretty hectic at times, so we want to make sure you keep calm and carry on through even the most stressful of circumstances.

·         Rock the mic like a vandal – not just in karaoke, but in all forms of communication (i.e., talk well and write good stuff).  We’re talking impeccable communication skills.  You’re representing MI, after all, and we take our brand seriously.

·         Know how to roll up your sleeves.  We have a lot of brass tacks here, and we like to get down to ‘em.

·         Jibe with our company culture.  We’re talking energy, integrity, positivity, a hunger for knowledge, and a passion for helping patients.  Bring all that and a bag of chips.  Seriously, we love chips.

Required:

·         At least two years of experience in customer service.

Preferred:

·         Knowledge of EMR systems.

·         Experience in physical therapy environment.

·         Bilingual.
