Vacant job

Description

Personal assistance is a support system that exists to enable individuals with extensive disabilities to participate in society and live an independent life.

The goal of the service is for the individual to live a life like others. Personal assistance is based on the individual's needs and can therefore look very different in practice.

Responsibilities

As a personal assistant for this care recipient, you will play an important role in their daily life, at home and during leisure activities. The care recipient needs physical support and assistance in their daily life with tasks such as household chores, personal care, and accompanying them in activities. The work involves assistance with transfers. The assignment also includes performing delegated health and medical care tasks.

You will work closely with the care recipient in their home environment. The job involves working alone as it is simple assistance. The working hours are irregular and may include day/evening/awake night shifts and every other weekend.

Qualifications

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 delegated health and medical care tasks.

Since the work can be physically demanding, you need to be in good physical condition. A driver's license is not a requirement but is helpful.

To succeed in this role, you need to be confident, calm, and attentive, both in your personality and in your approach. It is advantageous if you have knowledge of low-arousal responses and clear communication methods.

You should be able to master the Swedish language well in both speech and writing. Since you will be working closely with the care recipient in their home, we place great importance on personal suitability and chemistry.

Before employment, we require a criminal record extract (personal information and information regarding children with disabilities) in accordance with our procedures. Please request these when submitting your application.

As it is important for the collaboration between the care recipient and the personal assistant to function, the employment is a fixed-term contract for one month with the possibility of extension.

Selections are made on an ongoing basis, please submit your application as soon as possible!
