Job Description

I am a quadriplegic with no functional ability below my neck. This requires a unique skill set to be effective. Look these over and see if these qualifications describe you:

Physically fit and strong enough, as well as agile enough, to help me with some of my rehab as well as to transfer me (I have a lift that gets me from the bed to the chair and back), to lock me in place in the van, to constantly be carrying things for me. Enough understanding of technology to help me make my phone and computer work well, to know how to research to find better ways to improve my life, etc. Great communication and interpersonal skills, as well as the ability to write grammatically correct, since I still have clients to whom you would represent me. A working knowledge or ability to quickly learn software, especially Word Office Suite and WordPerfect. An easy personality that does not mind taking instructions while still possessing a personal confidence to anticipate and address issues as you become more comfortable with me and my style. A highly confidential, trustworthy person; this is a professional position that feels extremely personal... Because it is. While we are people of faith, we are extremely accepting and nonjudgmental and expect the same acceptance, regardless of your spiritual or philosophical persuasion. One of the best assistants I ever had, and I disagreed on several things but deeply respected and enjoyed each other (she became like a daughter to me, and still is). Since we are living up close and personal, both in my world and primarily in my house, there must be a comfort level between myself and this person. Hours would be Monday through Friday, 8:15 - 4:45 (30 min lunch), 40 hours; $15-$20 per hour, depending on education, experience and qualifications. Please understand there are no benefits such as retirement or medical insurance. National paid days off include: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Being willing and able to travel occasionally would be a great benefit but not mandatory. Easy ability to interact with vendors, medical personnel, insurance companies, etc. on my behalf Provide executive administrative support, including managing calendars and scheduling appointments. Handle phone communications with professionalism and courtesy. Organize and maintain files, ensuring easy access to important documents. Assist in event planning and project coordination as needed.
If this is still of interest to you, please respond with any clarifications or concerns at your earliest possible convenience. I'm beginning to set up interviews now.

Thank you so very much,
Dan Hall
