Vacant job

We are now looking for two new, reliable night assistants for a young man living in Söndrum. Initially for 3-6 months, with a high chance of a permanent position.

He is a happy, charming, and kind young man who likes nice clothes, playing PlayStation, and keeping the farm tidy. He has a cerebral palsy (CP) and therefore needs assistance from his caregivers around the clock. The assistants act as his arms, legs, and voice. He communicates clearly using an eye-tracking computer and body language, so you will quickly learn to understand what he wants and thinks.

The family often goes on various day trips. A few times a year, they also go on longer trips, such as a ski holiday in the mountains or to Legoland. Since the assistants travel with them, it is a requirement that you are able to be away from home for approximately 1 week.

As the young man has double assistance during all waking hours, you will work together with a colleague. Therefore, it is important that you thrive in close collaboration with your colleagues. He has a wonderful group of people who enjoy each other's company both on and off the job.

We are looking for someone who is positive, adapts easily to different social situations, and enjoys active and varied work where you will both give and receive much joy. You should not have any physical limitations, as lifting and assistance with mobility are part of the job. You must also be able to refrain from smoking and strong scents before and during your shifts.

The work is scheduled for night shifts with double assistance. We offer an introduction period of approximately 2-3 weeks to give you plenty of time to learn the job. You will also be offered training in, for example, AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) and eye-tracking computers.

Start date according to agreement.
