Vacant job

We are looking for female personal assistants for an almost 11-month-old boy with a tracheostomy in Västra Frölunda, Gothenburg. The boy's needs require supervision and care around the clock. Since the boy breathes through a tracheostomy tube, you will always work in pairs to ensure his breathing functions correctly. A significant part of the work involves preventing blockages in the tube by regularly removing mucus/saliva with a suction catheter and administering mucolytic inhalations. The boy also has a feeding tube in his stomach and requires mucus mobilization and position changes. The work also includes nursing, physiotherapy, and social interaction with the boy.

As an assistant in this assignment, you are offered a rewarding job with a happy, social, and cozy little boy. The family consists of the boy's mother and father. As an assistant, you will work in close proximity to the boy – both at home and when the family goes for walks or outings.
