About the assignment
I am a 21-year-old guy looking for two committed and responsible assistants who preferably share my great interest in sports. I study at Valjevikens Folkhögskola located in Sölvesborg municipality in western Blekinge County, with a focus on sports, and I now need two assistants who can also step in as needed for my team of assistants around the clock. I need help with transfers, personal care, support during meals and tube feeding, as well as assistance with communication. In school, I also need practical help to perform tasks. I communicate verbally and with Bliss symbols. I can drive my power wheelchair myself but need help with my manual wheelchair. In my free time, I need assistance to engage in various activities, such as training, attending matches, or hanging out with friends.

You who are applying should be calm and secure as a person, have a sense of humor, be social, and preferably enjoy various sports just like I do. You should be able to read when I need help and when you need to step back to give me space. You need to have a driver's license for a car. I assume you are smoke-free.

I am now looking for two assistants for work and as needed, such as during the regular assistants' leave or illness when I am at Valjevikens Folkhögskola. It may also occur when I am home on breaks with my parents in Hässleholm. One position is approximately 90% and one position is approximately 40%. The work shifts vary, and the scheduled times are 08:00-21:00, 08:00-16:00, 16:00-21:00, and awake night shifts from 21:00-08:00. All assistance is active time, meaning that you as an assistant are awake at night and help me as needed.

For me, it is more interesting to know why you think it would suit you well to work with me rather than your previous work merits unless they are relevant to the position. Interviews will be conducted on an ongoing basis, so you are warmly welcome to submit your application!
