The role involves supporting her in daily life activities within her private home.
Helping her live her day-to-day life involves many of the tasks you do in your own life, such as helping her get up, food preparation, cooking, providing medication support, cleaning, laundry, grooming, hygiene, and accompanying her on outings including GP appointments and physiotherapy appointments, assisting in physiotherapy exercises. You may also help her participate in community and social activities, undertake shopping, prepare shopping lists, and assist with budgeting while monitoring her health and reporting any concerns.

* Have a minimum of 1 year of experience in the healthcare sector as a caregiver, healthcare assistant, carer, support worker, or personal care assistant.
* Be eligible to work in NZ.
* Be subject to a clean police clearance check.
* Knowledge of Punjabi language is preferred, as the elderly lady's native language is Punjabi.
* Have an understanding of Punjabi cultural practices and cooking style.
* Be physically fit enough to provide support for an 80+ kg individual.
* Be open to assisting with physiotherapy exercises.
* Be fluent in both Punjabi and English for effective communication.
In return we will offer:
