Helper (personal assistant) of older adults
Overview
Job Description
Imagine doing a job you love any day and time of the week, working for yourself and setting your own rates. Imagine doing something meaningful and getting paid for it. Well now you can, and you don't even have to search for customers. Good Life Sorted, is a new innovative start-up launching in the UK, tackling the challenge of the growing ageing population, the lack of cross-generational support and the shortage of professional carers. And it is using a unique approach: it is connecting older adults and their families with vetted individuals in their neighbourhood, who are called Helpers and provide a number of services for a fee. The Helpers are self-employed, which means that they can pick the hours they work, their rates and do their taxes. The process is simple. As a Helper you join our community, you create an online profile and you choose the services you are happy to offer. Good Life Sorted will then match you with older adults who need your help. Here is a list of services you can offer: * cleaning * companionship * welfare checks * laundry * grocery shopping * picking up prescribed medication * dog walking * activity visits (e.g. play cards or table games) We believe that working as a Helper is more than a job. You are making someone's life better and you are strengthening your community. We are looking for amazing Helpers, who have a driving license, enjoy interacting with older adults and are: * Compassionate and empathetic * Excellent communicators and can build rapport easily * Trustworthy, reliable and punctual * Confident in managing uncomfortable situations * Flexible and taking initiative * Good listeners * Comfortable using technology No experience working with older adults is required. All we are looking for is people who are eager to make the lives of older adults better. We are looking forward to receiving your CV.
