Description

Personal assistance is a support system designed to help individuals with extensive disabilities participate in society and lead an independent life.

The goal of the service is for the individual to live a life similar to others. Personal assistance is tailored to the individual's needs and can therefore vary significantly in practice.

Responsibilities

As a unit resource within personal assistance, you are primarily employed within one unit but are expected to work across unit boundaries. You should be able to cover for regular staff absences within personal assistance.

The work is varied and includes all commonly occurring tasks within personal assistance, such as personal care, hygiene, social interaction, documentation, and medication and assistive device management. Delegated tasks may occur.

You need to enjoy being flexible, both in terms of working hours and the location of your work. The job involves working days, evenings, nights, and weekends. In some cases, work may need to be performed without prior knowledge, e.g., in newly started cases or emergency situations.

As a unit resource, you may be involved in starting new cases and supporting your colleagues regarding documentation and implementation plans.

You will receive professional development to match the needs of the organization. The professional development plan is established during employee discussions with the respective manager.

Qualifications

• Certified nursing assistant education or other healthcare-related education, or extensive relevant experience
• Driver's license for manual transmission
• Good computer skills to document and manage the organization's systems
• Proficient in Swedish, both spoken and written

It is an advantage if you have previously worked in personal assistance and are used to working closely with a person throughout the day. It is also beneficial if you have previously performed medical interventions and have experience with transfers.

To succeed in this role, you need to be confident, calm, and attentive, both in your person and in your interactions.

Before employment, we request an extract from the police criminal record (own information and children with disabilities), in accordance with our procedures. Please request these when you submit your application.
