Job Responsibilities
As a personal assistant, your primary task is to provide support and care based on the individual's assistance decision and established implementation plan. The work is carried out with great respect for the assistance recipient's influence, participation, and self-determination. Documentation is recorded in the social journal.
You will work with a child born in 2017 with significant functional variations who needs daily support in their everyday life. The job duties are varied and performed primarily in the home. The child lives alternately with their parents, which means you need to be able to commute between the parental homes within central parts of Örnsköldsvik. One home is within a radius of approximately 7km from the city center and local transportation cannot be relied upon in the evenings and on weekends.
The support includes daily care such as personal hygiene, dressing and undressing, mobility assistance, play and activities – with the goal of enabling the child to live as independently and fulfilling a life as possible.
An important part of the work is also medical care, where you are responsible for tube feeding and medication administration according to established schedules. You will receive thorough introduction and training in all procedures.
Since the child is susceptible to infection and uses medical equipment, hygiene and cleanliness are of the highest priority, both regarding your own hygiene and the child's environment. To ensure a pet-free and safe environment, it is a requirement that you are smoke-free and do not have pet hair on your clothes.
The position is full-time (100%) and involves work during day, evening, weekends, and on-call shifts. From autumn 2025, activity-adapted schedules (VAS) will be applied, which provides the opportunity for full-time employment within Örnsköldsvik Municipality.
We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
Qualifications
You are trained as a nursing assistant or have education from a children's and leisure program, alternatively other relevant education or experience.
We are looking for someone with a genuine interest in working with people and who demonstrates attentiveness, respect, and a sense of security in interactions with both the child and their family.
We would like to see that you:
Have experience in care and support, preferably with knowledge of tube feeding, medication, epilepsy, respiratory aids, or mobility aids.
Have experience in medical care (e.g., tube/PEG), which is meritorious.
Have very good Swedish language skills, both spoken and written, to follow instructions and document correctly.
Are attentive and can adapt to the child's daily condition as well as to each parent's routines and wishes.
Are structured and thorough, with the ability to handle documentation and medical procedures correctly.
Thrive with established routines and have high work ethics.
Have a strong focus on hygiene.
Driver's license category B and access to your own car are meritorious to facilitate transportation to the workplace.
Attach your CV and cover letter with your application. Selection and interviews may take place on an ongoing basis.

Approved documents are passport, international ID card, driver's license + personal certificate from the Swedish Tax Agency, or other ID documents that verify citizenship. For some positions, a printout from the police's suspicion and conviction register is required.
