Job Responsibilities

Personal assistance is provided to individuals with disabilities to strengthen their ability to live an independent life. As a personal assistant, you act as a human aid that compensates for the user's disability and helps perform tasks the user wishes to do but cannot due to limitations caused by their disability.

Depending on their disability, the individual may need help with personal hygiene, meals, dressing and undressing, communication, or assistance requiring in-depth knowledge of the individual. The need for help can be of a very personal nature, i.e., close to privacy. The work takes place primarily in the home. Your employment also includes the ability to work at other locations, either through collaborative shifts or joint planning.

The following are meritorious:

• Training in and/or experience with tracheostomy.
• Training in and/or experience with PECS/Sign language as a communication tool (TAKK).
