Vacant job

I am a 27-year-old man with cerebral palsy (CP) and am currently looking for personal assistants to help maximize life together! I need help with everything in daily life. I communicate via an eye-controlled computer, so it is important that you enjoy talking to me through this technology. This requires good skills in speaking and understanding Swedish.

I am looking for you who can jump in for hourly shifts, both during the day, evening, weekends, and awake nights. There is, among other things, a position of approximately 50 percent covering day, evening, and weekends. You should be able to work throughout the summer. In the future, there may be an opportunity for a permanent position. You will work days and evenings on a fixed rotating schedule. If interested, there is an opportunity for staffing responsibility and increased hours.

My outlook on life is that "nothing is impossible" – I focus on solutions instead of dead ends. My interests include Hammarby (a sports club), football, bandy, and handball. Music is a major interest, preferably playing bass, listening to music, and attending concerts. If you also play music, it is a plus, but not a requirement.

I enjoy hanging out with friends. I am part of a running group where you, as an assistant, are my arms and legs, helping me move forward with my wheelchair. In the winter, I ski in my own way. I swim several times a week at a swimming club, where you are also my arms and legs.

I have received my own apartment in Råcksta and will live there together with my personal assistants. Currently, my switch user (switch operator) lives with my parents in Hässelby. My family means a lot to me, and I enjoy spending time with my older siblings and nieces/nephews.

About you:
I am looking for you who are positive, secure, and happy in your role as a personal assistant. You are tidy, punctual, and a team player who puts my needs first. You should be responsive, able to work both in a team and independently, and interact well with me and my network. The work is flexible – this is not a 9-to-5 job, but the work follows me wherever I am.

Being punctual, able to plan and structure the work, as well as being physically strong and enjoying training and music, are significant merits. As an assistant, you should focus on me and my life choices. It is important to me that you see the positive and happy guy I am behind my CP. Humility and viewing the job as developmental and rewarding are appreciated. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions. I am looking for both women and men. The most important thing is that you are grounded and confident in yourself.

Staffing:
An extended (and compensated) staffing assignment is included in this position. This means that during certain weeks, you must be reachable outside of regular working hours to, in urgent situations, call in a substitute or jump in yourself to assist. This is Assistans i Balans' way of ensuring that our clients always have a familiar assistant by their side. The assignment is shared by all assistants working on a regular schedule.
