Vacant job

Are you a reliable support pillar looking for a fun and important job where you can make a difference in someone's life? We are looking for personal assistants for a cheerful 9-year-old in Strängnäs.

We need dedicated assistants for one of our younger clients – a girl with a big personality and extensive care needs. As an assistant, you will be a crucial part of creating a safe and meaningful everyday life for both the child and the family.

About the position

Our client is a 9-year-old girl with extensive care needs. She is cheerful and social and needs support with everything in her daily life. She likes music, crafting, and going for walks. During the day, you accompany the girl to school and participate in the lessons. After school hours, you work mostly at the girl's and her family's home. Therefore, it is important that you are good at communicating, have a kind and respectful attitude, and possess strong empathy.

The girl needs help with everything in her daily life. She does not have a spoken language but expresses herself through sounds and gestures. She uses a feeding tube and requires respiratory assistance, including a cough assist machine and a sucting device.

The work is based on respect for the individual's self-determination and integrity. A thorough and clear introduction is provided upon employment. A car and a driver's license are required to commute to and from work.

Since the client does not have a spoken language and has difficulty expressing herself, it is required that you are creative, sensitive, and attentive to small signals. Experience in personal assistance is meritorious, but personal suitability and care experience will weigh the heaviest. Please mention your availability in your application.

Since the girl is under 18 years old, a certificate from the police register is required before employment.

You must not be a smoker.

A Category B driver's license is required to commute to and from the workplace.

We process applications continuously, so do not wait to submit your application.
