About the Client: The client is a stroke survivor who lives with cortical blindness and ataxia. They use a walking frame for mobility or a wheelchair when out and about.

Schedule:

  • Approximately 10 hours per week
  • Daily visits from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, Monday to Wednesday and at weekends (Thursdays and Fridays are not required)
  • The schedule may be subject to minor adjustments over time

What We're Looking For:

  • A genuinely caring, personable individual who enjoys spending time with others
  • Someone comfortable supporting a client with visual impairment and mobility challenges
  • Experience with wheelchair assistance and guiding individuals with visual impairments is desirable
  • A patient, upbeat personality — the client values good conversation and companionship
  • Punctuality and reliability are essential

This is a self-funded position. No personal care duties are involved, making it ideal for someone who is passionate about providing companionship and helping a client maintain an active, enjoyable lifestyle. If you are a warm, sociable person who would enjoy accompanying the client on outings and providing friendly support, we would love to hear from you.
