• Be available for day shifts between 10:00–22:00.

Training in routines and medical technical aids is provided on-site, but it is an advantage if you have:

• Experience with tracheostomy, suctioning, and handling of a ventilator.
• Experience with a cough assist machine.
• Experience with ventilation.

You need to be able to notice when things are dirty and need cleaning. You must be attentive to what is in the refrigerator and whether anything has expired and needs to be thrown away. You must be responsive, focused, and able to disconnect from your mobile phone during your shifts. There is time to sit down, but you will need to help with all normal household tasks.

Yes, you will help with dressing and undressing, moving in bed (ceiling lift available), assisting in the bathroom and shower, cooking, cleaning, weeding the flower beds, accompanying on grocery shopping, and attending doctor's appointments. You must be able to learn new things quickly.
