Vacant job

About the client

I am a social man, 60 years old, a poet and creator, living in Borås. In my spare time, I enjoy writing texts, going to the cinema, meditating, meeting friends, and attending various cultural events either alone, with friends, or with my partner.

At home, you will assist/support me with everyday tasks such as hygiene, cleaning, laundry, and cooking. Since my immune system is very weakened, it is essential that hygiene and cleaning are performed meticulously for my well-being. I also need help with transfers, and if you have experience in this, it is a plus.

I have MS, asthma, and use a wheelchair. A significant part of my time is spent at the swimming pool, which will be one of your important tasks - to assist me in my training and take me there and back. However, you do not need a driver's license or a car as I use transportation services.

I train in water aerobics several times a week as well as other physical activities, and it is most comfortable with a male assistant who can accompany me in the men's changing room, but all applications will be considered. If you have an interest in training, stretching, and health, that is also a positive aspect. Due to my stiffness and spasms, I stretch regularly, and you will, of course, be an important support and helping hand in this.

To manage my training and daily life, I need nutritious and homemade vegetarian food. Here, if you already know how to cook this type of food, you can share your tips, or you will learn what I consider good food for me.

It is important that you are physically strong to perform my manual transfers for both your and my safety. The same applies to your fine motor skills - they need to be good as I use contact lenses and need help putting them in and taking them out of my eyes. Since I am sensitive to infections, it is crucial for me that we together create the best conditions to prevent infections such as colds, stomach flu, or Covid-19. Therefore, good hand hygiene and staying home when symptomatic are essential for my health.

Being able to speak and write Swedish is also of great importance as I have a lot of dealings with authorities and associations.

As you understand, it is important that you, as an assistant, have very good social skills and possess calmness and patience. You will need to be empathetic and know when to take initiative or step back.

Most importantly, our personal chemistry must work well, just as with my other assistants. I will place great emphasis on personal suitability in this regard.

Requirements

To follow up on the above, I would like you to:

• Have good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written
• Not smoke during working hours
• Be a good swimmer and have good water skills
• Possess some form of experience or education in care and assistance/personal assistance (experience with MS is a plus but not a requirement)
• Have a long-term view of your work and a willingness to make things work
• Be vaccinated against Covid-19 (due to my sensitivity to infections)
