Vacant job

A 26-year-old woman with multiple disabilities, living in Skoghall, is looking for new Personal Assistants. She is cheerful, determined, and has a 'hujedamej' (carefree) attitude with a ready laugh. She enjoys walks, watching movies, listening to music and stories. She loves going on adventures, for example in Mariebergskogen, or simply having a coffee in town. She needs help with everything, 24 hours a day, to manage her daily life. This includes PEG feeding, inhalations, BiPAP, and various aids such as a corset, standing frame, and lift. Mobilization is also part of the role.

As a person, you should be outgoing, self-initiating, and able to take the lead. You should have a good sense of humor and a great deal of patience, and remain calm in stressful situations. There is a cat in the home, and occasionally a dog.
