Carer / Housekeeper
I am looking for a support mentor for my 3 young adult men with special needs, in Falcon WA.
They have a variety of conditions including ASD, ID and Elhers Danlos. Aged 19, 21 & 23, and need a carer / housekeeper Monday to Friday 8.30 am to 2.30 pm (some flexibility in hours is needed).
The household is like a Supported Independent Living (SIL) group home, with the night shift living on the top floor. As they are all adults it’s important that the boys are not reliant on me, I’m always here if needed. I work from home and have chronic illnesses, so I might be working, resting, or sleeping.
In our household we are accountable for our actions, with privacy, dignity and respect being essential core values for anyone in our home.
There is no such thing as an average day, so you need to be ready for anything.
As a general guide, duties will include (but not limited to)
- Looking for opportunities for the development of life and social skills
- Assisting with micro-enterprises (currently selling trading cards online and recycling)
- Engagement at home, gaming, gardening, movies, board/card games etc
- All household and home duties inside and outside, include cooking, laundry, full house cleaning, shopping, pet care, general household activities and errands, managing all aspects of the household needs to ensuring the smooth running of household
- Managing schedules and appointments, transport, attendance as needed
- Taking to activities / shops etc as required
- Be an extraordinaire in finding solutions and getting things done
- Being 'handy' is an advantage, flat pack assembly and light household maintenance often seems to come up
- Decision-making should be supported as required but not substitutive, they are the experts in their lives

Some ‘must haves’: driver’s license with good driving record, own ABN, first-aid or will get, be self-motivated, flexible, and accountable for outcomes. Excellent English skills, my boys do not deal well with heavy accents and literacy skills are required for a number of the tasks. Be fit and healthy, able to actively engage and complete all tasks.
You are a role model and should applying common sense, critical thinking and emotional intelligence to everything you do.
A car is provided during work hours for all work-related travel.
