Vacant job

Are you a person with good experience in care? Social, genuine, and self-assured? Do you want to work extra on Sunday daytime hours?

Then perhaps you want to work with me!

I have Dravet syndrome, which is a difficult-to-treat epilepsy. Unfortunately, I am extremely susceptible to infections, and a common cold can make me very ill.

I enjoy being at home the most, together with my family and dogs, which will be the assistant's workplace. I have an interest in playing music, watching my iPad, painting pictures, and watching DVDs. There is also a great interest in shopping.

As a personal assistant, you will help with everything that may arise in daily life, such as dressing and personal care.

You will function as an extension of my arms and legs. I sit in a wheelchair and need help with transfers, so you as an assistant need to be in good physical shape.

Furthermore, tube feeding, feeding, and some medication management are included. You will stimulate activity and, if necessary, curb activity, as I have a low threshold for seizures and lack of impulse control. I understand everything that is said, but I have difficulty expressing myself in conventional speech. I use my own words and expressions mixed with "normal" words, so you need to help and support in speaking on my behalf.

For this position, you must have:

• Good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written
• Category B driver's license
• Good and strong physical fitness

It is an advantage if you have:

• Nursing education or similar previous work experience is advantageous but not a requirement. You will learn the medical parts required during the induction period. I.e., tube and some medication management as well as blood sugar control.

Personal suitability weighs the heaviest, however.

Working hours and degree of employment:

Daytime Sundays 8:00-16:00. There is some flexibility in time and number of Sundays per month, and a weekday can be offered instead.

We conduct background checks.

You need to present extracts from the criminal record and suspicion register upon employment.

We perform authenticity checks on the extracts!

Welcome with your application!
