Vacant job

One of our assistants will be on leave, and we are looking for someone to work with Anna during her absence. Anna is 33 years old, lives in Enskede, and needs support with most aspects of her daily life, especially with organizing her surroundings and communicating with those around her. She requires calmness and predictability to feel good and to avoid getting 'stuck' in what she is doing.

Anna enjoys nature. She is used to taking long walks both in the forest and in the local area around Enskede. She also enjoys various types of creative activities, such as painting. A few days a week, she walks with her assistant to her studio, where the assistants help create a stimulating and creative environment for her. About once a week, there is a longer hike on a hiking trail or with a hiking association in Stockholm.

The assistants work on a fixed schedule, with 12-hour shifts or full-day shifts with sleeping duty. The entire team meets regularly for staff meetings and supervision.

We are looking for someone who is positive, secure, curious, and respectful of people's differences. You are caring, patient, and interested in finding approaches that work in dialogue with colleagues and others around Anna.

If you are interested in nature and the environment, enjoy being outdoors, gardening, music, crafts, or other artistic activities, we would be particularly interested. A driver's license is an advantage.

We prefer a female candidate who is smoke-free and not allergic to pets.

You will be employed by Balans, which means you will always receive support in your role. In addition to good introduction, training, and further education, you will also receive personal supervision to ensure that your service is always based on Anna's needs.
