Vacant job

We are looking for a warm, secure, and attentive personal assistant for Freja, starting immediately for summer work in Ljugarn on Gotland.

Freja is 18 years old and lives with extensive disabilities. She has a great need for support in her daily life, both physically and communicatively. The work therefore requires presence, patience, and a good ability to read, interpret, and create security in both small and large situations.

Although Freja's daily life is limited by many difficulties, it is important that you see her resources, will, and personality. You need to be sensitive to her small signals, able to analyze and interpret them correctly, and find ways to communicate and interact.

We are looking for someone who has experience working with similar disabilities and feels confident in meeting people with high care needs. It is important that you can work calmly, empathetically, and with great respect for Freja's integrity and self-determination.

It is an advantage if you are:

• nurse assistant
• nurse
• special educator
• physiotherapist

Previous experience in personal assistance or other care activities with similar needs is very valuable. It is also an advantage if you have experience with:

• deafblindness
• CI (cochlear implant)
• transfers and handling of people with muscle weakness
• epilepsy, seizures, and emergency medication
• mucus mobilization
• inhalations
• chest physiotherapy device (flutter/PEP)
• tube feeding
• RIK (Respiratory Insufficiency Care)

We believe that you who apply are:

• empathetic and responsible
• confident in close care work
• calm, stable, and flexible
• good at cooperating but also confident in working independently

The position is for summer work in Ljugarn on Gotland, in a quiet and nature-oriented environment near the sea. Freja has double assistance, so you will always work together with someone who knows Freja well. If you feel this could suit you, you are warmly welcome to contact us and tell us a little about yourself. We place great emphasis on personal suitability and the right chemistry.

Due to the close and personal nature of the work, we prefer female applicants. The position requires experience in qualified care and assistance work, as well as confidence in working with people with extensive disabilities. Therefore, we are primarily looking for you who have previous experience in similar work.

We look forward to finding the right person for a nice and secure summer together with Freja.
