Vacant job

I am a 43-year-old man with a high spinal cord injury. This means I am paralyzed from the neck down and require ventilator support for breathing. I have a tracheostomy and receive my medication and fluids via PEG. I communicate through head nods/shakes, facial expressions, or by speaking with Leakspeech. I also use an eye-controlled computer with text-to-speech functionality, and I have a fiancée who can interpret for me.

I am looking for a wonderful team of personal assistants to help me with my daily tasks, hygiene, and exercise. I require double assistance 24/7.

I live with my fiancée and our American Bulldog, so you cannot be allergic to pets or afraid of dogs.

I am looking for someone with a big heart, education in healthcare and social services, who is stress-resistant and, most importantly, has a sense of humor. A good laugh extends life! You should be experienced and confident enough to take initiative.

Working as a personal assistant for me involves significant responsibility – medically, physically, and socially. To ensure we both feel safe, a criminal record check will be required prior to employment.

A prerequisite for starting employment with us at SAAND Assistans is that you can present a valid ID document and any documents proving the right to work in Sweden. To work as a personal assistant, you must be at least 18 years old.

According to legislation, we as an employer are required to request a criminal record check for all employees who will work as personal assistants for a child under 18 years of age. To ensure the safety of our clients at SAAND Assistans, we obtain criminal record checks for all employees we hire. Therefore, you must present a criminal record check from the police before a potential employment.

We encourage you to apply as soon as possible as we review applications on an ongoing basis and may fill the position before the final application deadline. We only accept applications via our recruitment system in accordance with GDPR.
