Job Opportunity: 2SLGBTQ+ Personal Support Companion in Victoria, BC

We are seeking a paid personal support companion identifying with the 2SLGBTQ+ community, ideally queers and punks (including sex workers or those who are sex worker-friendly), to support a Senior individual with cognitive disabilities in Victoria, BC. The role begins in late February and focuses on low-key, accessible social and recreational outings near the UVic campus.

Role Responsibilities:
- Accompany her and her chihuahua on walks, visits to movies, art galleries, and other cognitive disability-accessible activities.

- Provide cognitive and emotional support through shared interests like listening to sound art/goth/punk/jazz/reggae, underground music, BDSM culture, communist history, film, animal care, trees, nature, coffee!

- Engage in relaxed activities such as watching tv, news (especially Democracy Now!), discussing social justice topics like climate change, or reading together

This is a flexible, paid companion role emphasizing emotional labour and community connection. It pays a bit higher than a regular Personal Support Worker (PSW) rate and no specific qualifications or certifications are required. If you know someone in Victoria who fits this description, please reach out directly. Cheers and thanks!
