Vacant job

Do you want to work as a personal assistant and contribute to everyone's equal right to a good life?

In this role, you will make a difference in people's daily lives and work together with us towards Humana's vision – Everyone has the right to a good life.

About the position

Personal assistance is an intervention according to the LSS Act (The Act concerning Support and Service for Certain Functionally Impaired Persons). In your role as a personal assistant, you will primarily help the client with everything that arises in daily life as well as with basic needs. Your work involves safeguarding the client's self-determination and integrity, and contributing to a smooth daily routine. Each assistance assignment is uniquely adapted to the client's life, so tasks may vary depending on the workplace.

The client is a 40-year-old woman living in Hässelby. After a traffic accident, she uses a wheelchair and has extensive physical support needs in her daily life. She communicates her own needs, wishes, and decisions. The assignment involves being her extended arms and legs, and providing the practical support needed so she can live her life exactly the way she desires.

Your duties include providing support in personal care, dressing and undressing, cooking and meals, transfers, and household work such as cleaning and laundry. The role also includes support regarding health and self-care.

A crucial factor in this assignment is the understanding of the client's self-determination. It is important that you can distinguish between supporting and directing, and that you never give unwanted advice or try to influence her choices.

Who are you?

The role of personal assistant places high demands on the ability to build good relationships. We are looking for someone who is sensitive, engaged, and responsible. You are professional in your approach, meticulous, and highly aware of integrity. To thrive as a personal assistant, it is important that there is good personal chemistry between you and the client.

Requirements for the position:

• Previous experience working as a personal assistant.
• Good physical condition (as heavy lifting and support during transfers occur).

Merits for the position:

• Experience with self-care tasks such as catheter management and enemas.
• Speak Greek.

Great importance will be placed on personal suitability.
