Vacant job

Assistera Skandinavien AB is a family-oriented company that offers personal assistance to individuals with disabilities who have been granted personal assistance under the Act on Support and Service (LSS). We are a smaller company with long experience that recognizes how important everyone in the organization is – users of assistance, relatives, as well as assistants. To provide good assistance, it is essential that all parties are satisfied and well, our job is to ensure that this is the case for you.

We are now looking for personal assistants for need-based employment and summer substitutes for some of our users, with the possibility of employment on a schedule (working hours vary between schedules).

Personal qualities

It is very important that you master the Swedish language both in writing and speaking in a way that allows you to communicate with the assistance user, colleagues, and possibly healthcare personnel without misunderstandings arising.

Important qualities in the work of a personal assistant are that you are thorough, responsible, and try to come up with solutions. Sometimes you may need to read the user's needs and wishes without them being expressed, so being attentive and understanding of their needs is highly prioritized.

You are calm and empathetic, see opportunities, and are good at encouraging and motivating the assistance user to engage in various activities when needed. When stressful situations arise, it is important that you remain stable and controlled. You have a positive attitude towards your work and can communicate clearly.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

Job responsibilities

During your workday, you assist the assistance user with everything they cannot manage on their own, based on the granted support. You help with transfers and support them in all activities, from household tasks to assistance with personal hygiene. The support is based on the user's needs and wishes. Furthermore, some users may need support in communication and in collaboration with their network. The work also includes documentation, reporting incidents and deviations, and for some users, performing delegated tasks (e.g., delegation and self-care).

In the role of a personal assistant, your workplace is wherever the assistance user is located. This can be at home and during various activities outside the home.

Other

A driving license (B) is an advantage and a requirement for some users.

Working hours vary between users, but the needs are generally scheduled for days, evenings, nights (waiting time, former on-call time, may occur), and weekends.

Selection and appointment of positions occur continuously.

If you, as a candidate, proceed in the process, you will need to verify your identity and that you have the right to work in Sweden.

Background checks may occur in our recruitment processes, and police extracts (https://polisen.se/tjanster-tillstand/belastningsregistret/barn-med-funktionsnedsattning/ (https://polisen.se/tjanster-tillstand/belastningsregistret/barn-med-funktionsnedsattning/)) are always requested upon employment with minors.
