Vacant job

We are looking for someone who wants to work as a substitute as needed in a safe and experienced assistance team for a woman with ALS. It is double assistance around the clock, and you will always work with a regular staff member. She lives in her own home with her daughter, and they have a shared cat and a dog. She has a tracheostomy, ventilator, and PEG, which means you will be an important part of providing life-sustaining support, security, and care in daily life.

• Breathing support via ventilator and handling alarms.

• Tracheostomy care, including suctioning and daily maintenance.

• Feeding and care via PEG.

• Personal care, hygiene, and transfers.

• Support in daily routines and communication.

You will receive thorough introduction and training before you work independently but with the support of regular staff.

💡 We are looking for someone who

• Has experience in personal assistance or work in healthcare and social care.

• Ideally has knowledge of ventilator care, tracheostomy, or PEG, but the most important thing is that you are meticulous, secure, and willing to learn.

• Is attentive, calm, and respectful in your interactions.

• Has good teamwork skills and can take responsibility even in calm moments.

- Can speak and understand Swedish fluently.

- Is punctual and has a strong work ethic.

💬 Personal qualities

You have a calm and secure demeanor, are attentive to details, and can maintain focus even in stressful situations. You enjoy working closely with a person and create security through care, respect, and professionalism. No allergies as there are a dog and cat in the home.

⏰ Working hours and scope

The work is done in 12-hour shifts (we currently need day substitutes the most but also night substitutes as needed) during illness, leave, and vacation.

This is suitable for you who are studying or have another main occupation and can step in at short notice.
