ABOUT TEAM JERNKROK

We run our own personal assistance service, which means short decision-making processes and the opportunity to truly invest in our employees.

Our personal assistants are crucial for the child's quality of life and development. Therefore, you can expect dedicated and present managers here. We believe that good structure, clear expectations, and effective communication are vital.

At our agency, you always work together with a colleague because we have double staffing during all waking hours. This means you always have someone close by to collaborate with, discuss questions, and learn from. You become part of a team where small progress means a lot. Here, you get the opportunity to get to know a unique person, and together we work to create a safe and meaningful everyday life.

POSITION: 80%

The position consists of 2–3 fixed weekday shifts per week from 07:00–16:00, combined with occasional evening shifts and a couple of weekends according to a rolling four-week schedule. Each work shift is approximately 8–9 hours long.

We are a stable and pleasant staff group striving to maintain a solid core staffing level. Being reliable and taking responsibility for your scheduled shifts creates security for the entire work group. Here, you can feel secure knowing you are not expected to be on call all the time. For those who wish and want to work more, there is obviously the opportunity to take extra shifts.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Non-smoker
  • Driver's license & access to a car
  • Fluent Swedish in speech & writing
  • No pet allergies (cats live in the home)

The most important factors are personal chemistry, your commitment, and a sense for the role of an assistant. We hope you see this as a long-term assignment and want to become an important person in the child's life!

WHAT WE OFFER YOU

  • Secure & permanent employment with a collective agreement (Fremia)
  • Hourly wage according to agreement, minimum 150 SEK/h* + vacation pay & shift allowance
  • Health allowance of 4,000 SEK/year
  • A meaningful & engaged workplace

We apply individual salary setting with good salary development. Our employees have competitive salaries in relation to the industry.

DESCRIPTION OF THE POSITION

"I am a happy and playful boy with autism and severe intellectual disability. I am 9 years old!

Every superhero needs sidekicks, would you like to be mine?

This autumn, I will start middle school, and then I need more assistants for my team. On weekdays, you will join me at school and in after-school care. Otherwise, your workplace is where I am, and we will spend a lot of time at home with the family. We enjoy cozying up on the sofa and sometimes going on outings and activities.

Medication management and tube feeding via pump are part of the routine. No previous experience is required – the most important thing is that you are curious and want to get to know me. We will teach you everything we can!

I have a lot of energy, and it is important that you can keep up with my pace. Are you strong and agile? I can climb quite high, but also expect some lifting and floor play. You who apply for the position should be attentive, responsible, patient, and have quick reflexes to prevent dangerous situations.

Do you like order and working together towards goals? My team always does their best to ensure I am well!

I live with my mom, dad, and older sister in Anumark, 10 km north of central Umeå. A car and driver's license are required to get to work."

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE A JOB FOR YOU?

Send an email with a cover letter and CV to [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]). Make sure it is clear that you meet our requirement profile.

We place great emphasis on personal chemistry and personal qualities, so do not hesitate to apply even if you do not have previous experience!
