Vacant job

Do you want a meaningful job where your presence and patience really count? We are now looking for an engaged assistant for a cheerful 22-year-old girl who loves music, swimming, and long walks.

About the role

As a personal assistant, you are her safety net in everyday life. Since she lives with CCHS (Undine Syndrome), she breathes with the help of a respirator when sleeping, and during the day you help her with the care of her tracheostomy. Through your attentiveness and calmness, you create a safe environment where she can thrive, despite challenges with communication.

As she is non-verbal and has autism, you need to be attuned to her way of expressing herself. Your most important task is to understand her needs and be there as support in all daily chores – both at home and during her daily activities.

Who are you?

We place great importance on your personality and your ability to build relationships.

• Patient & Attentive: You have the ability to remain calm even when communication is challenging.
• Respectful: You understand and respect the dynamics of working in a private family home.
• Reliable: You enjoy taking responsibility and are awake and alert, even during night shifts.

Requirements: Valid driver's license, access to a car, and a certificate from the Swedish Police Authority (criminal record check).

Merits: Experience with autism or working with non-verbal individuals.

We offer

• Thorough introduction: Are you new to the profession? No problem! We provide you with approximately 50 hours of training where you will learn everything about the respirator, tracheostomy care, and how best to support our user.
• Flexibility: The position is 85–95% with good opportunities for extra hours.
• Varied shifts: Shifts vary between 7–13 hours (24-hour assistance, awake nights).

Apply now – we look forward to meeting you if you have the right chemistry and a big heart.
