Vacant job

I am looking for an assistant who is fun to be around, as I myself am socially active with both friends and my assistants. I love music, concerts, moving around, and sports.

I understand everything you say, but I communicate using both PODD (Picture Exchange Communication System), body language, and a letter board. I am very clear in my communication, so I am looking for someone who is attentive and clear in return. It is important to me that you speak Swedish so that we understand each other.

I need help with everything in my daily life, such as dressing and undressing, hygiene, meals, and communication. In addition, I need support at my day activity center. I can walk independently with support from my assistants. On weekdays, I attend my day activity center and participate in a running group.

My assistance consists of double staffing for most of the time, which means you will work together with one of my other assistants. However, solo work may occur during vacancies. It involves some simple medical tasks as I have epilepsy. Previous experience with epilepsy is an advantage.

• Someone who listens to me.
• Fun and able to joke around.
• Able to cook.
• Able to help me take responsibility for myself at the day activity center and at home.
• A plus if you can play an instrument, but most importantly, you share my interest in music.
• Willing to learn about my medications and how to administer them.
• Someone who can remain calm around me. If you are unsure, ask me or your colleagues.
• Someone who can remember routines and details.
• Someone who asks me if there is anything you are unsure about.
• Someone who comes up with new activities and suggestions for me.
• Someone who plans my days together with me.
• Someone who wants to stay long-term. I do not wish to change assistants constantly.
• Knowledgeable about epileptic seizures is a plus.
• Someone who stays calm during a seizure. Do not get stressed; hold me and speak calmly.

You will be employed at 75% and will work according to agreement on a rolling schedule with 30 hours/week. You might already be studying or working part-time and see this as a fun and educational side job.

• Weekdays: day/evening
• Weekends: day/evening

Can change in exceptional cases during activities.

Your workplace will be both at my home in Bromma and you will accompany me to work.

• Individual salary setting.
• Fremia agreement.
• Health allowance.

Fremia-Kommunal agreement, individual salary setting. To be employed, you must present a valid ID, police certificate, and any documents proving the right to work in Sweden.
