About: Duet is a companion care agency serving Manhattan, Northern Brooklyn, and parts of Queens and the Bronx. Our mission is to connect our elder clients with outstanding companions who can improve their quality of life through social engagement, meaningful activities, and help with daily tasks that get more difficult with age.
Description: We are looking for engaging and compassionate individuals who are interested in supporting elder adults and have some experience with caregiving. In addition to experienced healthcare workers, we hire artists, performers, nursing and graduate students, and individuals from other professional backgrounds who desire a rewarding “encore” or second career. We believe that creating a great match with a client and caregiver can have an incredible impact on the quality of life for everyone.
A companion position can require just several hours per week, or as much as 30+ hours per week. We do sometimes have opportunities for live-in positions as well. This would be a great role for someone who is currently working in a freelance capacity and is looking for a consistent schedule and additional income from a meaningful job.
Our clients are retired professionals, creatives, life-long New Yorkers, and fascinating people with diverse life experiences. They would benefit greatly from a strong connection to a well-rounded, reliable companion with whom they can share their life.
**This job does not require “hands-on” care such as dressing or bathing assistance.
Typical Activities and Responsibilities:
– Providing companionship to older adults and individuals with chronic conditions; this may include discussing current events or shared interests, or taking trips to cultural or entertainment venues
– Assisting with non-physical tasks such as meal preparation, grocery shopping, and light housework like folding laundry or throwing away leftover food items.
– Safety supervision, standby assistance with ambulation or certain other tasks, medication reminders, adherence to care plans
– For clients with dementia, you’ll need to communicate effectively, provide mental stimulation, and/or safety supervision as necessary.
Please contact us if you have a passion for supporting others and reverence for the older generation.
To apply, please email us a note about your connection to caregiving with older adults, and a relevant work resume to jobs@duetcare.com. Be sure to mention that you first saw this post on AMNY Jobs, and we look forward to hearing from you!
