Vacant job

We are looking for both substitute workers and an assistant for a full-time position with a one-year-old boy with a tracheostomy in Luleå. As an assistant in this assignment, you will be offered a rewarding job with an active and curious boy. The family consists of the boy, his mother, father, and their dog - a French bulldog. They live in a villa where there are good conditions for a pleasant working environment for you as assistants. As an assistant, you will always work in close proximity to the boy - both at home and when the family goes on outings and trips. The boy's needs require supervision and assistance around the clock. Since he breathes through a tracheostomy tube, you will always work with another assistant to ensure that his breathing functions correctly. A central part of the job is to prevent blockages in the tube by regularly removing mucus/saliva with a suction catheter and providing mucus-dissolving inhalations. The boy also has a feeding tube in his stomach that he is fed through occasionally in addition to a bottle. Otherwise, the boy is healthy and cheerful and enjoys playing, going for walks in a stroller, and being held.
