Vacant job

Alma Assistans is the dedicated company that collaborates with the client to create personalized assistance. We work closely with our clients and know that good relationships are the key to effective assistance. We operate throughout Sweden with our headquarters in Uppsala and local offices in Gävle, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Helsingborg, Jönköping, and Växjö.

We now need to expand our wonderful team of assistants and are therefore looking for someone who is passionate about helping others and has good communication skills. You are attentive and have a knack for recognizing and addressing the client's needs.

The job requires that you are self-driven and have good initiative. It would be great if you still have a childlike spirit, as this can help the girl have an inclusive and meaningful everyday life.

The girl is 17 years old and lives with her family in Gävle, and there are also dogs in the home. She has multiple disabilities that require you to assist and support her in all types of situations at home, school, and during leisure activities, etc. Your workplace is wherever the girl is located. The girl uses a wheelchair, and transfers mostly occur with a lift, for which you will receive training.

Her care and support needs are extensive, which means you will need to help with all hygiene, showering, dressing and undressing, feeding via “button/PEG”, training such as stretching, and other activities like therapeutic swimming.

Experience working as an assistant in a family setting is preferred. Familiarity with various assistive devices such as wheelchairs, lifts, and tube feeding is also a plus.

We are primarily looking for someone who can take a fixed daytime shift and accompany her to school, or be home during holidays, but also to step in as needed at other times of the day. A driver's license is required to transport her to and from school.

We conduct interviews on an ongoing basis, and positions may be filled before the application period ends. Please prepare a copy of your criminal record extract.

Welcome with your application, or call for questions.
