ABOUT THE JOB

We are looking for personal assistants for a 12-year-old boy living just outside Karlstad. The boy has extensive care needs, and the assistance is provided with double staffing around the clock.

He uses a Permobil and has his own speech. In his daily life, he enjoys e-sports, technology, and gaming, which would be a great shared interest with you as his assistant. He attends an adapted school where you, as his assistant, accompany him.

The role involves supporting him in all aspects of daily life, including personal care, communication, leisure activities, and medical procedures. Experience with tracheostomy and PEG is advantageous but not a requirement. The most important factor is that the personal chemistry is right.

The workplace is located outside Karlstad with limited public transport connections, meaning a valid driver's license and access to a car are mandatory.

Hold a valid driver's license and have access to a car

OTHER QUALITIES WE LOOK FOR

Interest in data and gaming
Good teamwork skills and ability to work in a team (double assistance)
Sensitivity and respect for the individual's needs and privacy
Commitment and willingness to make a difference in someone's daily life
