• The Role
•
Were delighted to have been chosen by residents of a new development at Williamstown to provide a 24/7 on-site concierge service. This isnt your traditional concierge role - but the commitment to great service is!
Were supporting people with disabilities to live independently. The residents who chose us already have primary providers to assist with daily needs, such as personal care and enjoying the best of West-side living! Were there as a back-up, for example when two-people are needed to hoist.
Your daily activities will focus on supporting people to be independent at home & live the life they chose. This could include, supporting with personal care & hoisting or assisting to provide medical care such as diabetes care & ventilation support. It can also include daily errands such as collecting mail and parcels, making a cup of tea, picking up a dropped book, writing a letter, support to prep a meal or just having a quick chat.
You understand great client service, are keen to continue your work in the disability sector and ideally are described by your friends as a people person.
