ABOUT THE JOB
We are seeking personal assistants for a 12-year-old boy living just outside Karlstad. The boy has extensive care needs and assistance is provided with double staffing 24/7.
He uses a Permobil and has his own speech. In his everyday life, he enjoys e-sports, technology, and gaming, which can ideally be a shared interest with you as an assistant. He attends an adapted school where you as an assistant accompany him.
The work involves supporting him in all aspects of daily life, including personal care, communication, leisure activities, and medical procedures. Experience with tracheostomy and PEG is a merit, but not a requirement. The most important thing is that the personal chemistry works.
The workplace is located outside Karlstad with limited public transportation connections, which means a driver's license and access to a car are requirements.
