Vacant job

We are now looking for personal assistants for two 15-year-old twin sisters in Örnsköldsvik. In this role, you will work with both twins, who have extensive support needs and require assistance with all aspects of their daily lives.

In this role, you will make a difference in people's daily lives and work together with us according to Humana's vision – Everyone has the right to a good life.

About the position

Personal assistance is a service under the LSS Act (Act on Support and Service for Certain Functionally Impaired Persons). The customers' individual needs dictate the workday, and the work may include assistance with mobility, personal care, as well as daily chores and activities both inside and outside the home.

The sisters have different interests and personalities, making the work both enjoyable and varied. One girl is a huge hockey fan who loves going to matches and is generally open to most things. The other twin prefers a calmer pace and enjoys relaxing on the sofa and watching her tablet.

Who are you?

The role of personal assistant places high demands on the ability to build good relationships. Therefore, we are looking for someone who is sensitive, engaged, and responsible. It is also important that you can take initiative and see what needs to be done. To thrive as a personal assistant, it is crucial that there is good personal chemistry between you and the customer.

Requirements for the position:

• Ability to provide a certificate of good conduct (required as the customers are under 18).
• Tolerance for pets (there is a dog in the home).
• Good proficiency in Swedish.

Merits for the position:

• Experience working with children/young people.
• Experience with tube feeding.
• Experience with epilepsy.
• Previous experience working with individuals with CP (cerebral palsy) or similar physical disabilities.
• Shared interests with the customers.

Personal suitability will be given great weight.
