Vacant job

We are looking for assistants for a little girl who needs help around the clock. The girl lives with her family in a villa outside Njurunda, which is about a 20-minute drive south of Sundsvall. Here, the girl, who is one year old, lives with her mother, father, and older sister. As an assistant, you will be an important part of their lives as the girl requires constant supervision. Since the girl breathes through a tracheostomy, you will always work with another assistant to ensure that her breathing functions correctly. A large part of the work involves preventing blockages in the cannula by regularly removing mucus using a suction catheter and providing mucolytic inhalations.

As an assistant, you will receive tailored training in the medical tasks related to the tracheostomy. The training takes place over several days and includes theoretical and practical components alongside the girl and hospital staff. Thereafter, ongoing professional development will occur based on the needs of the assignment.

Who are you as an applicant? We are looking for someone who has personal suitability for the role. The chemistry and interaction between you as a personal assistant and the client with their family are crucial for the quality and experience of the work. For us, this means that you are responsible, empathetic, and attentive. As an assistant with a client who requires respiratory support, you need to be able to work carefully according to instructions, even when it is urgent. Therefore, we see that you are a secure person and enjoy taking initiatives, both independently and in collaboration with others in a group. We prefer female applicants for the assistant position.

It is a prerequisite that you can commute to and from work at the scheduled times. It is important that you are punctual and can adhere to schedules but also flexible enough to occasionally fill in to cover staffing gaps. You need to have a driver's license and access to your own car to be able to work in this assignment.
