FALL JOB POSITION TO ASSIST A DISABLED STUDENT,
CONVENIENT, ON CAMPUS
I
sustained a cervical spinal cord injury a few years ago and my quadriplegia
prevents me from doing what most people take for granted so I'm starting to
recruit some PCAs to work with me this school year.
I
can move my arms/wrists but I’m unable to use my fingers. I am a full-time
wheelchair user. I’ll need help with daily activities such as-but not limited
to: bathing/dressing, toileting, ROM stretches, light housekeeping etc.
Complete training is provided so experience isn't required. I use a lift system
for transfers (safe for you and me) but you still need to be reasonably strong
to handle cares like dressing.
I
have a service dog and you may need to help me do some of the things that I
cannot do for the her.
A
little about me: I’m a Journalism major with a minor in Sociology. I love music
(who doesn’t?), Xbox, basketball, and a somewhat ridiculous obsession with
makeup thanks to YouTube.
It's
great experience and great on your resume if you're pursuing medical and
healthcare careers. Past care-giving experience preferred, but not needed.
You will be part of my PCA team of 4 or 5 PCA’s. All are UA students so the
schedule is built around your classes. My apartment is on campus.
You
will be working for me, but employed as a PCA by my hiring agency. Must pass a
background study. Above all you must be reliable so I can actually get to
class. I can't stress enough how important reliability is. You will be paid for
any training and pay starts at $12/hour.
Email
me with a paragraph about you (experience/interests, education, etc), your
availability to work and when you would be available for an interview! I would
like to start interviewing starting the week of August 14th or even earlier via
phone, email etc. Thanks Erin ethomson@email.arizona.edu
