Who will you work with?

Ebba is 15 years old, has a rare diagnosis called Rett Syndrome, and lives with her parents and younger sister in Lindome, not far from Lindome station, fifteen minutes by train from Gothenburg.

Ebba enjoys being around creative, proactive people who like to come up with ideas. She loves music, horseback riding, and swimming. As her assistant, you will work with Ebba on communication using an eye-controlled computer, implement training programs from a physiotherapist, and assist her with other basic needs. Ebba has mild epilepsy, needs help with feeding, and receives medication via a PEG button. You will also be Ebba's link to interaction with others in her environment and support her communication outward.

Scope of the position

Ebba is looking for someone who can work approximately 40% (15 hours/week) on a rolling schedule, afternoons/evenings on certain weekdays, every other weekend, and extra during school holidays. Some nights, you will also be on-call at Ebba's home. The position is a temporary contract until February 2026, with good opportunities for extension.

Who are you applying for? What is important for you to thrive in the role of Ebba's assistant is primarily the right chemistry between you, Ebba, and her family. Both Ebba and her family place great value on personal maturity in you as an assistant, meaning you are calm and secure in yourself, self-driven and proactive, have a high level of empathy, and know when to take the lead and when to step back.

Ebba is only looking for women as the work is close to personal integrity.
