Vacant job

We are looking for a caring and dedicated personal assistant for an 18-year-old boy who loves activities and play. He lives with his parents in a villa in Jönköping and has limitations in his ability to speak, which requires your presence and support. During weekdays, he attends school but without an assistant. He has a great interest in swimming, taking the bus and train, jumping on a trampoline, watching motorsport on TV, and playing with his cars. In addition to these interests, it is important to manage his severe epilepsy, as daily seizures occur. Therefore, your presence is crucial. 

The position is a part-time employment as needed, with shifts scheduled during afternoons, evenings, and weekends. 

Responsibilities: As a personal assistant, you will play a significant role in enabling a functional and quality daily life. Previous experience in similar work is an advantage, but the most important aspect for us is that you have the right attitude and feel for the job. The tasks are varied and include among others:

• Personal hygiene and care.
• Support during social activities and hobbies.
• Assistance and support during meal situations.
• Accompanying to the swimming pool and other outings.
• Helping with dressing and undressing.
• Assisting with training and physical activities.
• Helping with transfers.

• Has a driver's license.
• Is a good swimmer.
• Is in good physical shape and non-smoker.
• Is calm, creative, and stress-resistant.
• Can tolerate pets, as a cat is present in the home.
• Is proactive and can work independently.
• Speaks and writes fluent Swedish.

The position is a part-time employment as needed to cover unstaffed shifts in the schedule as well as during illness and absences of regular staff. Since it is a part-time position, the employment rate may vary from month to month and is therefore difficult to specify in advance. Working hours may include day, evening, and weekend shifts. You will receive training to help you feel secure and well-prepared for your new role.

Working as a personal assistant is more than a job – it is a way to facilitate someone else's daily life while feeling that you contribute something important. We appreciate your skills and commitment, and we see each individual as a valuable part of our team. With us, you will be offered:

• Internal training to strengthen your skills and confidence in the role.
• Guidance and support in daily life from our experienced team.
• Favorable employment conditions according to collective agreements.
• Generous wellness allowance for those with a permanent position.

With us, you will become an important part of a team where everyone strives towards the same goal. You will have a workplace where you are seen, appreciated, and where your contribution is significant.
