Vacant job

I am an active 23-year-old guy living with my family just outside of Strängnäs.

I am currently looking for a personal assistant for a fixed-term position of at least 1 year. The working hours are approximately 25 hours/week and involve being awake during the night. Since you will be working in my home, it is of course important that you get along with the rest of my family as well as with me.

Who am I, what are my interests?

I enjoy staying home and spending time with my family. When the weather is nice, I love going for walks, cycling, playing football, or helping out with chores around the property. I am passionate about gardening and growing plants. On warm summer days, I am the first to jump into the pool and I love having an ice cream afterwards. I really enjoy dancing and do it as often as I can, but I also like to relax sometimes and watch a good movie.

About you:

Since public bus transport does not fit with your working hours, you must have a valid driver's license and access to your own car. You should be cheerful, patient, reliable, and responsible. Because I have a condition affecting my windpipe that causes me to stop breathing, you must monitor me continuously as my assistant. Additionally, I have Down syndrome with a narrowed esophagus, which makes it easy for me to choke. So yes, I require your constant attention.

I use a lot of sign-supported communication, so experience in this area is a plus. Otherwise, it is important that you speak clear Swedish. Knowledge of medical technology equipment and a nursing education are meritorious. Sign language skills are also a plus!

To be employed, you must present a valid ID, any documents proving your right to work in Sweden, and a certificate of good conduct (police record). This can be ordered at www.polisen.se (https://www.polisen.se).
