Vacant job

About me:

I am a guy who shares an apartment with my brother in Annedal, Bromma, on the border to Sundbyberg. There are good transport connections nearby, and with a bike or a walk, you can quickly get to and from Sumpan, Solna, or Bromma.

I work at a daily activity center during the day, and of course, my assistants join me. On weekends, I usually engage in fun activities, sometimes with my brother, who also has assistance, and sometimes with a friend. For example, we often go to the swimming pool. I am humorous, social, and enjoy watching movies.

I do not have verbal speech, but that does not stop me from communicating; I just use other methods. Therefore, it is important that you are attentive and sensitive to my signals and are interested in learning to interpret me appropriately. If you have experience and knowledge in AAC, that is a big plus.

I am involved in the recruitment process and choose my assistants carefully, so I am very much looking forward to your application.

About you:

You have previously worked as a personal assistant and understand that this job places high demands on you to be active, meticulous, structured, and solution-focused. At times, I need extra support from you, and it is important that I feel you are there providing me with calm and security.

Out of respect for both me and your colleagues, you understand the importance of being on time and coming to work rested and alert. I believe that the best fit for an assistant with me is someone who is 25 years or older.

You should be talkative, and it is very important that you feel comfortable with the Swedish language, both spoken and written. My assistants support me with everything in my daily life, so it is important that you also help me communicate in various situations, such as during doctor visits or when I need to try out a new aid at the assistive technology center. But most importantly, to understand our written instructions, your work, and to perform it well and safely.

Note! It is important that you are not allergic to pets since my brother and I have a cat, and my parents have dogs that often visit us. It is, of course, a plus if you like our animals (who are very friendly).

Staffing:

This position may include an extended (and paid) staffing responsibility, which means that some weeks you must be available at times other than working hours to call in a substitute or step in and assist when intervention is required. This is Assistans i Balans's way of ensuring that our clients always have a familiar assistant by their side. The assignment is shared by all assistants working on a regular schedule.

The position:

The work involves both single and double assistance, where collaboration is important both with me and my other assistants.

I am currently looking to strengthen my team and therefore seek at least two people for work during the day, evening, awake night, and weekends, as well as extra as needed. The positions are planned to be around 75%, but we can discuss other options if you wish. Please indicate in your application how you would like to work.

You will receive thorough introduction, ongoing supervision, and training from Balans, who will be your employer.

Salary:

Individual salary setting.

Agreement:

Fremia-Kommunal

Please be ready with references if you are called for an interview.
