Your New Job
You will work with a woman with a physical disability who needs personal assistance in all aspects of daily life. You will work in the resident's home and immediate surroundings in Jönköping. The home has two small, cheerful companion dogs that you will also care for. Your tasks include social support, personal care, mobility assistance, and household work such as cleaning, laundry, and cooking. The resident has a hearing impairment, so clear communication is important. The work always starts from the resident's needs, current condition, and wishes, with the right to self-determination. Integrity, confidentiality, and professional conduct are also crucial in all situations.
As a personal assistant, you provide everyday support by creating structure, participating in activities, and building a trusting relationship. The work is shaped around the individual and can range from quiet moments at home to gardening and dog walks. We therefore welcome if you have an interest in plants and animals. The work is built on creating a long-term, secure, and trusting relationship with the resident, where attentiveness, respect, and continuity are important elements.
Your Qualifications
We would appreciate it if you are a trained personal assistant, nursing assistant, or childcare worker, or have other education that the employer deems equivalent, but this is not a requirement.
Experience working as a personal assistant or in care and support is a merit.
Basic knowledge of personal assistance, self-determination, hygiene, and safe mobility is a merit.
It is important that you are comfortable with and accustomed to dogs, as this is part of the work.
You have good Swedish language skills, both spoken and written, as well as strong reading comprehension and good computer skills.
You have good physical mobility as the work can be physically demanding.
You hold a class B driver's license and have access to your own vehicle.
As a candidate, you are attentive, respectful, and empathetic to the resident's needs and wishes. It is important that you can organize, take responsibility, and prioritize daily tasks while following given instructions well. You handle both planned and unexpected situations responsibly with calm and good judgment. You have good communication and cooperation with residents, family members, and other stakeholders, where good and mutual dialogue is crucial.
We place great importance on personal suitability!
