Vacant job

We are looking for someone to work as a substitute for a one-year and three-month-old boy with a tracheostomy in Tumba, south of Stockholm. As a substitute, you will cover gaps that arise in the schedule. The boy's needs require supervision and assistance around the clock. As an assistant in this role, you will be offered a rewarding job with a cheerful, social, and cozy little boy. The family consists of the boy's mother and father. They have an active lifestyle, and as an assistant, you will work close to the boy - both at home and when the family goes on outings. The job includes some care as well as social interaction with the boy.

Since the boy 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 mucolytic inhalations. You will receive theoretical training in the medical tasks at LIVA at the New Karolinska Hospital and training at home with fellow assistants.
