Our client lives with ME/CFS. Her life would be greatly improved by having a companion who could visit for a chat, or take her out for a coffee.
Did you know? People with ME/CFS, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis /Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, have a reduced level of functionality that means they cannot complete normal activities of daily living. An additional burden is that doing too much physically or mentally can trigger Post-Exertional Malaise – a worsening of symptoms that can last for days or more.
We are able to cover pre-approved costs if required, including bus fee or car travel at the IRD Tier 2 rate per km (currently 31 cents per km), cost of your coffee, etc. This role contributes to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Wellbeing
We are looking for someone who can commit to connecting once or twice a week with days and times being flexible.
