Night Personal Assistant

We are now looking for someone who wants to work as a personal assistant for me - at night!

Who am I?

My name is Carl and I was born in May last year with a rare diagnosis. We live in an apartment in central Gothenburg where we spend most of our time, but we also have a house in Lidköping that we visit every other weekend and during holidays. As my assistant, you will support and follow my development in several areas. I will need help from both you with a lot of experience in care and support, but also give an opportunity to those with a junior profile who still have a big heart and curiosity. We develop together with experienced and new assistants during our shared journey.

A day with me might look like this:

Since I am a small child, I need close care and support for my needs. Due to congenital breathing difficulties, I have a tracheostomy tube (trach) implanted that requires constant supervision and care. I enjoy cuddling and feel safe in company. With me, there are always two assistants working as I need someone who sees me all the time and interprets my signals about what I need help with. Much of my routine is also structured, but you will learn that during your introduction and as you get to know my needs. You will follow me on my journey in the early stages of life, which will also include future hospital visits and surgeries.

Who are you?

With me, you need to be a secure person who respects and is curious and attentive to my needs. You are responsible and have an easy time adapting to routines in speech and writing. Communication needs to be clear and smooth, as there may be urgent situations that need to be resolved in an effective and safe manner. We prefer that you have experience or are studying for a care or rescue service profession, but above all that you have an interest in me as a small child and want to learn new things. If you can use some sign language as support, that is a big plus, but it is not a requirement. If you have experience working with tracheostomy or have worked in healthcare, it is an advantage. We want to build an assistant team where both you with long work experience and you who are just starting your career can contribute and develop. The job with me starts immediately, so it is good if you are flexible after that.

About the position:

The position is a part-time night job. Night shifts are either from 10 PM to 8 AM or from 9:30 PM to 7:30 AM, Monday to Sunday. You will be scheduled for shifts as needed. You will work actively throughout the night together with a colleague.

The position is available immediately. However, employment will take place before that as you will be scheduled for shadowing and trach training. Passal Assistans offers a rewarding and varied job with good employment conditions, training, and wellness benefits. Fixed hourly wage according to agreement and other compensations according to collective agreement. You will also receive good support and contact with the assistance manager.

You who apply for this position must be able to present a valid ID such as a passport or national ID (driver's license is not valid) and a criminal record extract at the interview. If you are not a citizen of Sweden, the EU, EEA, or Switzerland, you must be able to present a valid work permit or permanent residence permit to work with us.

Passal Assistans works with personal assistance and is run by people with great commitment and long experience of working with people with disabilities. At Passal Assistans, it is important that everyone feels like part of the whole, that everyone realizes their significance. Our vision is a society and a daily life where everyone has the freedom to live fully. We see personal assistance as a way to achieve that vision.

Welcome with your application!
