Now we are looking for you who want to work as a personal assistant for me - at night!

Who am I?

My name is Carl, and I am almost 2 years old 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 experienced caregivers and those with a junior profile who have a big heart and curiosity. We grow together with experienced and new assistants on our shared journey.

This is what a day with me might look like:

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, which requires constant supervision and care. I communicate with signs and enjoy playing, singing children's songs, cuddling, and learning new things. 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 this during your introduction and as you get to know my needs. You will accompany 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 reliable person who respects and is curious and attentive to my needs. You are responsible and can easily grasp routines in speech and writing. Communication needs to be clear and smooth, as acute situations may arise that need to be resolved effectively and safely. We prefer that you have experience or are studying for a healthcare 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 signs 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’s good if you are flexible after that.

About the position:

The working hours are from 10 PM to 8 AM or from 9:30 PM to 7:30 AM. 63% employment rate. Additionally, there are on-call shifts/standby shifts of about 4-5 per month (you can also take more if you wish). The working shifts are Monday to Sunday but vary which days you work each week.

The position starts immediately. However, employment will occur 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 agreements. 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 not valid) and a criminal record extract at the time of 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!
