Vacant job

Alma Assistans is the dedicated company that creates personal assistance in collaboration with the client. We work closely with the client and know that good relationships are the key to successful assistance. We operate throughout Sweden with our headquarters in Uppsala and local offices in Gävle, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Helsingborg, Jönköping, and Växjö.

Immediate start!

We are looking for a substitute assistant for a cheerful, lively, and active 11-year-old girl. She is a forward-thinking and mobile girl who loves to play and be playful! Discovering and exploring new things is very exciting for her. She enjoys building with blocks, exploring the function and shape of objects, and loves playing in the playground or in the forest.

The girl lives in Skyttorp with her family. Good commuting and bus connections are available. The assistance is also provided at the family's house in Denmark during school holidays.

Important Duties and Requirements:

• Attention to detail is crucial as there is medical equipment, such as a manual suction device, saturation monitor, oxygen, and inhalation equipment.
• The girl needs help in her daily life with hygiene, gastrostomy care, medication, inhalation treatment, adapted drinks and food, as well as breathing monitoring and oxygen treatment in a high-flow mask with MyAirvo 2 during sleep.
• Motor and movement training in the form of play and exercises, as well as sign language training, are included.
• You will accompany her in daily life and be present at school, medical visits, outings, and trips with the family. You will be with her for both indoor and outdoor activities.
• The girl does not have her own speech but is very communicative using sounds, signs, and body language. You will be her interpreter and translator to people she meets. She uses a TalkPad, and the assistant helps and supports her in communication using TAKK (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) and the TalkPad. Therefore, good Swedish skills, including written, are required.

Advantageous Qualifications:

Experience with tube feeding, TAKK/sign language, visual aids or communication programs, and working with children with autism and hyperactivity is advantageous. Training in breathing monitoring, oxygen treatment, and first aid is provided by a qualified nurse through Home Child Care, Akademiska Barnsjukhuset.

About You:

We are looking for you who are a calm and observant person with great patience. You are confident working independently, have experience caring for children, and have experience working in healthcare. You still have a child's heart and enjoy activating and playing with children. Since the work is in a family with children, personal suitability is of great importance.

Job Details and Schedule:

This is an active, awake assistance role, divided into 2–3 shifts during the day. We are currently looking for someone for a part-time position at 75% of a standard schedule. You must be able to work daytime hours at school, and evening and night shifts on weekdays and some weekends are included.

Other Requirements:

• You are a non-smoker.
• You must master Swedish in both speech and writing.
• The temporary position is on a standard schedule for 12 months but may be terminated early if the regular assistant returns sooner.
• Opportunities for full-time work during the summer are available.
