Vacant job

I am a nice, fun, and active 13-year-old girl who loves speed and adventure! I live on the south side of Stockholm, but I also hang out in the city center quite often, where more things are happening. I like to be on the move and experience new things – life should be fun!

I have a tracheostomy ("trach") and therefore need double assistance around the clock. It is important to me that everything runs smoothly so that I can focus on living my life – my way. As my assistant, you therefore need to be good at collaborating with both me and my other assistants.

I want you to be perceptive and attentive, but also know when to step back and let me have my own space. The workplace is wherever I am – it can be at home, out in the city, at school, at friends' houses, or on outings.

If you can use sign language, it is a big plus, but it is not a requirement.

About you:
Are you a considerate, secure, and flexible woman with good collaboration skills? Then you might be exactly who I am looking for!

I want you to be a non-smoker and have an easy time adapting to different situations. You need to be present and attentive, but at the same time understand that you are there to support me in my life – not to control it.

It is important that you function well in a larger work group and can step in for colleagues when needed. You will work days, evenings, awake nights, and weekends according to a rotating schedule, so you should enjoy varied working hours.

The position:
The position starts as a temporary hourly employment so that we get the opportunity to get to know each other. After a while, there is an opportunity for a permanent position of approximately 70–75% with a rotating schedule around the clock.

Leading Assistant:
This personal assistant position includes an extended role as a team leader in the assistance. This means that, in close consultation with the employer (or legal representative), you design the employer's personal assistance in accordance with the intentions of the LSS (Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments) regarding self-determination, choice, and personal integrity.

In addition to leading the other assistants as described above, you ensure that the working environment is safe and secure. You are responsible for scheduling, participate in the recruitment of new assistants, and handle documentation. You have close and continuous cooperation with the team manager at the office, who is your direct supervisor. You receive extensive competence training, support, and coaching to manage your key position. This is a compensated assignment.

Staffing:
An extended (and compensated) staffing assignment is included in this position, meaning that during certain weeks you must be reachable at times other than working hours to ring in a substitute or step in and assist yourself when intervention is required. This is Assistans i Balans's way of ensuring that our employers always have a familiar assistant by their side. The assignment is shared by all assistants who work according to a regular schedule.

Does this sound like something for you?
Then I hope you want to become part of my team – so that together we can make everyday life safe, fun, and full of adventure!
