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 am tracheostomized and receive my medication and fluids via a PEG tube. I communicate through head nods/shakes, as well as through sign language or speech using a device called Leakspeech. I also have an eye-tracking computer with text-to-speech functionality, and a fiancée who can interpret.

I am looking for a wonderful group of assistants who can help me with my daily tasks, hygiene, and exercise. I have double assistance around the clock.

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

I am looking for you who have a big heart, education in care and support, are stress-resistant, and most importantly – have a sense of humor. Laughter is good for the soul! You should have some experience and be confident enough to take initiative.

Working as a personal assistant for me involves significant responsibility – both medically, physically, and socially. For both of us to feel secure, a certificate of good conduct (extract from the criminal record) will be requested before employment.

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

According to legislation, we as employers are required to request a register extract from all employees who are to work as personal assistants for a child under 18. To ensure the safety of our clients at SAAND Assistans, we obtain extracts from the criminal record for all those we hire. Therefore, you need to present a certificate of good conduct from the police prior to any 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 through our recruitment system in accordance with GDPR.
