Looking for someone to do graveyard shifts (9 pm to 7 am) caring for a 31-yr-old male with cerebral palsy. He is between 95-100 pounds. He is very spastic and has a G-tube for feeding. All lifts and transfers are done using a lift device and sling with another employee assisting.

The successful candidate will be expected to do brief changes with a second employee, changing clothes, and all oral care, as the client is a quadriplegic. You will administer medications and sign off on the MAR sheet as well as take vitals and write/record shift notes. You will also be expected to do some light housekeeping duties to maintain the client’s apartment and for COVID safety.
