Vacant job

Hello!

I am an energetic and cheerful young man, almost 19 years old, living in Tullinge with my family. Due to cerebral palsy (CP) since birth, epilepsy, and additional disabilities, I require 24/7 assistance to live my life. I already have a wonderful team of assistants by my side, and I am now looking for one more assistant to join us.

Aside from school, I enjoy staying at home, spending time with my family, playing video games, baking, and going for walks. Occasionally, I like to go on outings, and my favorite places are Tom Tits Experiment and Skansen.

Personal assistance is about providing service – assisting me so that I can live like any other teenager, which includes everything involved in my daily life. My disabilities mean that I need help with almost everything; such as meals, hygiene, activities, exercise, breathing gymnastics, and communication. I have mucus and breathing issues, which means you must be attentive and observant of my needs. During the day, I go to school, and after school, I usually go home and do fun things with the help of my assistant. Part of your work involves assisting me with motor training.

You should have a strong work ethic and enjoy having a lot to do, regardless of the time of day. I want you to be engaged in your work and supportive of both me and the team. You should be unpretentious, attentive to my needs, and have a professional and positive attitude towards the work – you are incredibly important in my life!

I am looking for someone who is social, flexible, responsible, and who works with heart. I appreciate initiative and clear communication. I have lifting aids, but the job still involves physical tasks, so good physical fitness is a plus.

It is an advantage if you have some kind of healthcare education or experience with inhalation, tube feeding, BPAP, and/or cough and suction machines, but this is not a requirement. Previous experience as a personal assistant is a merit.

Approx. 24 hours/week (approx. 60%). Primarily evening and night shifts, 16:00–21:30 and 21:30–07:30. Alternatively, extra work as needed (hourly employment).

Individual salary setting, a long introduction period, wellness benefits, supervision, and competence development to help you grow in your role as a personal assistant. We have a collective agreement with Fremia-Kommunal.

We look forward to receiving your application!
