Vacant job

We are looking for someone to work as a personal assistant for a 35-year-old man who will soon be coming home after a long hospital stay. He lives in Bromma, in a spacious ground-floor apartment with his own patio. The man has extensive support needs, and you will assist him in all aspects of daily life – from personal care and hygiene to meals, transfers, and creating a safe and pleasant environment at home.

The job involves supervision and assistance around the clock. Our client has paralysis and very limited mobility. He breathes through a tracheostomy tube, which means that you will often work with another assistant. An important part of the job is to ensure that his breathing functions correctly by preventing blockages in the tube, for example by using suction catheters and providing mucolytic inhalations. He also uses a ventilator to support his breathing.

The man receives nutrition via a feeding tube in his stomach, and you will handle feeding as well as other aspects of his daily life (ADL). We are looking for someone who wants to provide professional care with warmth, patience, and precision – and who sees the value in being a safe point in someone else's life.
