Vacant job

Kooperativet Hand i Hand is a member-driven organization established in 1995 for individuals entitled to assistance. Our members are located in Skåne, Halland, southern Småland, Västra Götaland, Stockholm, and Jämtland. We have offices in Halmstad, Hässleholm, and Malmö. We support our members with everything from applying for hours with the Social Insurance Agency/municipality to personnel issues regarding personal assistants. We believe that the work of a personal assistant is one of the most important jobs there is, as it provides an opportunity for another person to live their life like everyone else.

We are looking for someone who wants to work as a personal assistant to a nearly 60-year-old man in Helsingborg. The man lives in his own apartment and needs support with daily tasks. He has an intellectual disability (ID) and primarily communicates using sign language (TAKK). Since he has reduced cognitive abilities, you as an assistant need to help him gain structure and predictability in his daily life. He is physically fully mobile and active but may need help with motivation to start activities on time and needs to take things at his own pace.

We are now looking for an assistant who can step in and work extra when my current assistants are unavailable for various reasons. Primarily, we need help during nights, which also includes waiting time, but longer shifts may occur when my other assistants cannot work for various reasons.

We are looking for someone with experience working with individuals with ID. If you also have experience working with visual support/AAC and TAKK, it is a significant plus. As a person, you are calm, responsible, and proactive. To support the man in the best way, you need to be able to plan, stay one step ahead, and see what needs to be done. You enjoy a physically active job and have a great deal of imagination. We prefer applicants over 30 years old who can communicate in Swedish, both spoken and written, to ensure effective communication. It is important that you are smoke-free during working hours!

Interviews will be conducted on an ongoing basis, and the position may be filled before the application deadline. We will only be able to contact those who are relevant for an interview.
