ABOUT THE JOB

We are now looking for female personal assistants for an 8-year-old girl living just outside Karlstad. She has extensive care needs and receives support from assistants around the clock.

The girl loves everything that sparkles, and makeup and hairstyling are close to her heart. She also enjoys going on small outings and finding fun activities outside the home. The girl's verbal communication is very limited, which means it is important that you get to know her well to be able to interpret and understand her needs and expressions. She uses a power wheelchair for mobility.

As an assistant, you are a support in all aspects of her daily life, from care and medical tasks to play, activities, and creating a safe, stimulating environment. Experience with tracheostomy and PEG is an advantage but not a requirement. The most important thing is that you get along well and that you can meet her with warmth and security.

The workplace is located outside Karlstad with limited public transport connections, which means that a driver's license and access to a car are required.

You who apply are

• Female and at least 22 years old
• Non-smoker
• Have a driver's license and access to a car
• Secure, responsible and have a mature approach
• Have a genuine interest in working with children with extensive care needs
• Comfortable working days, evenings, and waking nights

Other qualities we look for in you

• Creative and playful
• Responsive and empathetic in your approach
• Good teamwork skills and enjoy working in a team (double assistance)
• Proactive and enjoy planning small activities or outings
• Experience in similar work is an advantage
