We are looking for you who want to work on a fixed schedule with me!

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 will grow together with both experienced and new assistants on our shared journey.

This is what a day with me might look like:

As 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) that requires constant supervision and care. I communicate with signs and enjoy playing, cuddling, singing children's songs, going for walks in my stroller, and learning new things. There are always two assistants working with me 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 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 secure person who respects and is curious and attentive to my needs. You are responsible and can easily adapt to 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. We are now looking for someone with a bit more experience in healthcare or as an assistant. If you have a nursing assistant education or equivalent, it is an advantage. We need you to contribute to the development and competence of the current workgroup.

About the position:

Day/evening. Working hours approximately 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM during the day and 3 PM to 10 PM in the evening. The position is approximately 64%. The work shifts are Monday to Friday, but the days you work per week may vary.

Additionally, there will be about 3-4 on-call shifts per month. On-call means that you are reachable by phone for a few hours and ready to step in and work if a colleague becomes ill. These shifts are either from 7 AM to 11 AM (for day shift cover) or from 3 PM to 7 PM (for evening shift cover).

The position is to be filled 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 agreements. You will also receive good support and contact with the assistance manager.
