Would you like to help someone experience new opportunities, connections and relationships?

Have you ever considered sharing your home with a person with a disability?

CAM CAN is a family-led organisation providing individualised and tailored community-based support to people with disabilities and their families.

Cam Can is currently seeking a family, couple or single person to open their home to an adult on an as-needed basis (e.g. weekends and other agreed times). You don’t need to have previous experience supporting a person with a disability, but you do need to be genuine in your desire to share your home and committed to making a positive difference in someone else’s life.

This support promotes opportunities for people with a disability to become valued and contributing member of their community. Host Carers are not employees of Cam Can but are engaged as volunteers. This allows Cam Can to offer you a tax-free reimbursement to cover the expenses of sharing your home.

We are looking for a Host Carer / Family who lives in and around the Balga area.

Our member is a lovely 60-year-old man, who requires support with mobility and daily living. He has a great sense of humour and enjoys conversations, company, swimming and music.

The ideal Host will be available to provide 1 - 2 short weekend stays a month (and occasional longer stays as agreed) and have a positive, soft natured, gentle, reliable, punctual and fun attitude.

The successful applicant will need to have a suitable spare bedroom in their home, a good level of fitness, a police clearance, Full Class C Drivers Licence and a roadworthy vehicle.

Experience is not essential as we hire people with the right values and attributes and support/training is provided.
