Schedule: Full-time (with flexible, live-in or travel-ready arrangement).

Reports To: Client, with coordination from the client’s psychiatrist and family where appropriate

Overall Purpose of the Role

To provide comprehensive, ethical, and professional private nursing care to a high-functioning
adult with Bipolar Affective Disorder. The role blends skilled psychiatric nursing, personal care
assistance, medication management, lifestyle support, and relational diplomacy within a dynamic
and high-stakes home-business environment.

Key Medical & Mental Health Responsibilities

1. Monitor and document the client’s mental, emotional, and physical state daily, identifying early signs of manic or depressive episodes.
2. Administer and supervise medication as prescribed, ensuring full compliance, tracking side effects, and reporting any anomalies to the physician.
3. Develop and maintain structured routines that stabilize mood while accommodating the client’s demanding executive schedule.
4. Assist in psychiatric emergency response protocols including de-escalation, suicide risk prevention, or hospitalization coordination when needed.
5. Track and support the management of any comorbid physical health conditions, including hypertension, diabetes, or arthritis.

Executive Lifestyle & Business Support

1. Accompany the client to site visits, board meetings, or investment activities when needed—providing discreet health support without interfering in professional interactions.
2. Maintain discretion and confidentiality concerning all business dealings, client conversations, and household dynamics.
3. Provide assistance in maintaining energy management, nutrition, sleep hygiene, and travel readiness to support productivity without triggering mood instability.

Relational & Family Dynamics

1. Work respectfully within the triangular relationship involving the client, his spouse, and family, ensuring trust, cooperation, and emotional safety.
2. Support the spouse where needed, without taking over caregiving authority or creating emotional dependency in the client.
3. Help de-escalate domestic tension where it affects the client’s stability, without crossing boundaries into personal or marital counsel.

Ethics, Boundaries & Emotional Intelligence

1. Maintain professional emotional boundaries, especially in moments of client overattachment, romanticized attention, or manipulation due to mood instability.
2. Decline gifts, favors, or boundary-crossing behaviors gracefully and with documented transparency.
3. Uphold a neutral but warm presence in the household—firm in standards, gentle in tone, and protective of the client’s dignity and privacy.

Administrative & Coordination Duties

1. Maintain accurate care logs, medication records, mood charts, and behavior journals.
2. Coordinate with therapists, psychiatrists, spiritual counselors, or family doctors as part of a confidential multidisciplinary team.
3. Support in tracking financial or lifestyle risk behaviors, especially during manic phases (e.g. impulsive spending or risky business decisions), and report to responsible parties where ethically permitted.

Additional Expectations

• Exhibit maturity, resilience, and a calm demeanor under pressure.
• Be flexible with hours and travel, including possible night shifts or temporary relocations.
• Respect and support the client’s faith, values, and cultural preferences.
• Maintain fitness for duty—physically, emotionally, and mentally.

Required Qualifications & Competencies

• Certificate or diploma in psychiatric/mental health nursing or equivalent.
• Prior experience with bipolar or similar psychiatric conditions.
• High emotional intelligence (EQ) and relational maturity.
• Discretion, diplomacy, and loyalty in high-profile caregiving environments.
• Strong communication, record-keeping, and emergency response skills.
• Preferably Male, or a female nurse with an adjusted work schedule.
• Must be ready for a short three to six months renewable contract; with renumeration of a retainer fee and a commission-based reward income.
