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 a service under the LSS (Act concerning Support and Service for Certain Functionally Impaired Persons). In your role as a personal assistant, you will primarily help the client with everyday matters and basic needs. Your work involves safeguarding the client's self-determination and integrity, 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 5-year-old girl who lives with her family in Lindesberg. She is a girl full of energy who loves to play and be active. She has extensive care needs, requires 24-hour supervision, and uses a wheelchair most of the time. As a personal assistant, you will support her where her disabilities impose limitations. Tasks will include supporting communication, transfers, personal care, and activities both inside and outside the home.

The role of personal assistant places high demands on the ability to build good relationships. To thrive as a personal assistant, it is important that there is good personal chemistry between you and the client. We are therefore looking for someone who is sensitive, engaged, and responsible. You have plenty of energy and thrive in jobs where you can be very active. It is also important that you can take initiative, see what needs to be done, and are flexible according to the client's needs. We prefer female applicants for this position, but personal suitability is the most important factor.

Requirements for the position:

• Good knowledge of Swedish
• B-driver's license and access to a car for travel to the client, unless you live in Lindesberg
