We're seeking a compassionate and reliable caregiver to support a client recovering from hip surgery in the Yorkville neighborhood of Toronto. This is a temporary role expected to last 2-3 months as the client regains mobility and independence.
About the Client:
The client is an independent individual living in a full-service condo building with valet and concierge services. They are currently recovering from hip surgery and using a walker for mobility. They have restricted movement for at least six weeks and cannot drive during this recovery period. The client values clear communication, reliability, and someone who takes initiative while respecting their independence.
Responsibilities:
- Provide mobility assistance and supervision while the client uses their walker
- Assist with bathing and dressing as needed
- Prepare simple meals and light meal prep
- Perform light housekeeping and tidying (a housekeeper handles deep cleaning every two weeks)
- Drive the client's car (Audi A4 automatic) to run errands including grocery shopping, pharmacy visits, and appointments
- Accompany the client on short walks in the neighborhood
- Wait nearby during showers for safety
- Walk with the client to nearby appointments (like the hairdresser two blocks away)
- Handle light tasks like emptying the dishwasher and ironing as needed
What We're Looking For:
- Valid driver's license and clean driving abstract (required)
- Experience supporting clients with post-surgical recovery and mobility assistance
- Comfortable with personal care including bathing and dressing support
- Ability to work independently and take initiative
- Strong communication skills
- Familiarity with the Yorkville/downtown Toronto area preferred
- English-speaking
- Reliable, punctual, and brings positive energy
Schedule:
Mondays and Thursdays, 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM, starting August 13th (possibly August 6th). This schedule may be adjusted based on the client's recovery progress and needs. The role is expected to last 4-6 weeks initially, with potential extension up to 2-3 months depending on recovery.
This is an excellent opportunity for a caregiver who enjoys supporting clients through recovery in a comfortable, well-resourced environment. The client is engaged, appreciative, and looking for someone who can provide consistent, quality support during this temporary recovery period.
