Personal Assistant for a Newly Established Assignment

We are looking for safe, warm, and skilled personal assistants for a newly established assignment where both permanent positions and hourly vacancies are offered. The assignment involves a client who communicates via a speech-generating device (Augmentative and Alternative Communication, AAC) as they cannot speak verbally. They can use one hand and sit in a wheelchair. The person requires tube feeding and has a urinary catheter system via the stomach, needing care based on these medical conditions. Adult children of the client also live in the home and are involved in daily life. The client appreciates cooking, has a good sense of humor, and is emotionally open — a family background with an interest in horses may mean horse-related activities occur or that animals and outdoor activities are important for well-being.

As an assistant, you will become an important part of creating a safe, dignified, and happy daily life. Duties include support in personal hygiene, transfers using lifting and transfer techniques, handling of tube and catheter-related routines according to current guidelines and training, cooking and meal support based on the client's interests, communication support with the speech-generating device, as well as social and emotional support. You will plan and carry out activities that strengthen the client's participation and quality of life — e.g., cooking together, conversations, short excursions, or accompanying to activities.

We are looking for you who are sensitive, confident in care situations, and can create a calm and positive atmosphere. You will have the opportunity to be involved from the start in a newly established assignment. Positions can be offered full-time/part-time/as needed depending on your preferences and the assignment's needs.

It is our policy to check new employees against the police's criminal record register as part of the employment process. This means that upon employment, we will request a police certificate from you before you start working. You order the police certificate yourself from the police. You can find the form at the following web address: http://www.polisen.se/Service/Blanketter/Blanketter-belastningsregistret/ (http://www.polisen.se/Service/Blanketter/Blanketter-belastningsregistret/) Choose the certificate for LSS. The police's processing time can be up to two weeks - please order your certificate today.
