Vacant job

Description

I am an 8-year-old boy looking for a new assistant to join my team. I have a severe visual impairment, epilepsy, and a significant care need. I am currently looking for someone who wants to work daytime hours (08:00 - 16:00) on weekends, as well as for extra shifts when needed. My assistance covers active time throughout the day and night, so flexibility regarding working hours for on-call duties or extra shifts is important.

Responsibilities

I need practical personal assistance with all aspects of my daily life. Heavy lifting may occur, so it is beneficial if you have some strength in your arms and back. I enjoy swinging, going for walks, crafting, reading books, and listening to music. Due to my visual impairment, you need to constantly talk to me, explain what is happening, what we are going to do, and guide me through all daily activities. Since I do not communicate verbally but through body language, it is crucial that you are attentive and focused on how I am feeling and what I want. My parents are always present to provide extra security for you during the beginning of your employment.

Qualifications

You need to be responsive to my needs, attentive, responsible, and calm and confident in yourself. I have epileptic seizures daily, and during these times, I need to feel that you can handle stressful situations.

The person I am looking for must have patience and a warm approach. You must enjoy being physically close to me and working based on relationships. Presence, clear communication, and security are the foundation of my assistance. Being my assistant means working with great responsibility, but also with much closeness, meaning, and the opportunity to make a real difference – every day.

The work with me can be combined with studies or other employment.

I would prefer that the applicant is female.

Conditions

You have experience in personal assistance or healthcare. You are a non-smoker.

Employment is according to the collective agreement Kommunal-Fremia.

Applications are processed on a rolling basis, so do not wait to apply.

Kooperativet Lila is one of Sweden's first personal assistance cooperatives. Our goal and vision are to provide our members with the assistance they desire, while offering our employed personal assistants the best possible conditions for their employment.

Over our 30 years of operation, the business has developed alongside the reform that introduced personal assistance in Sweden. Some of our members have, through their political engagement at the national level, influenced the legislation that grants people with disabilities the right to self-determination.
