You will be offered
· Employment at 75%, with the possibility of working up to 100%
· Fixed hourly wage plus other compensation according to collective agreement
· Pleasant work environment in a large villa with good conditions for night work
· Work with double staffing, meaning you always work together with an awake colleague
Job Responsibilities
All work is conducted with awake double staffing, and employment begins with thorough training and orientation. Therefore, no prior experience or previous care experience is required.
Here you will be offered meaningful, awake night work as a personal assistant with a focus on supervision and care of a 2-year-old boy in his home. The boy was born with a weakened airway and therefore breathes through a small plastic tube in his throat (called a Trach). Otherwise, he is a happy and completely healthy little boy. Your main task during the night is to watch over him while he sleeps to ensure he sleeps safely. This involves keeping an eye on the trach and ensuring the plastic tube stays clean using a handy steam machine and a small medical "vacuum".
In addition to supervision, you will also handle simple practical tasks, such as inventorying materials in storage, ensuring the boy's clothes are in order, and cleaning pacifiers for the next day. The boy usually sleeps through entire nights, which means night shifts are typically characterized by calm and quiet – while your presence and attention are always important.
The family consists of the boy, his mother and father, and the family's dog. They live in a large newly renovated villa with good bus connections and excellent conditions for a pleasant work environment.
Working hours are 21:00–07:00 and shifts can occur on both weekdays and weekends.
We are looking for someone who:
We believe that your personal qualities are crucial to thriving in this role and succeeding in the assignment. You are a person who loves children and is caring, genuinely enjoying working with small children and contributing to their sense of safety. In this role, continuity and stability are important, and we are therefore seeking someone who wants to work long-term in the position and who sees the value in following a child over time.
As a person, you are calm, empathetic, and responsible. You have a good ability to be present and attentive even in calm and quiet environments. You understand that night work requires structure around sleep and recovery to keep yourself awake and focused even during quiet nights. You are comfortable keeping yourself occupied during calm moments, while always keeping the child's needs in focus. Furthermore, you are punctual, reliable, and flexible, with the ability to cover for colleagues if needed. You also have a good understanding of what it means to work in someone's home and always act professionally, respectfully, and responsively in the home environment.
All necessary training and orientation will be provided on-site, so previous experience is not a requirement for the role. Perhaps you have worked with children or in care and welfare, or you may simply be a naturally child-loving, responsible, and caring person now seeking long-term work.
Requirements for the position:
· Swedish in speech and writing
· Non-smoker
Meritorious:
· Experience working with children
· Experience from care or welfare
START: Immediately
SCOPE: 75% with possibility of 100%
