Personal Assistant Gothenburg/Askim Part-Time

FMF Assistans AB · Vollzeit

., Göteborg, Schweden

We are seeking an assistant for fixed hours to support our client who lives with his family in Gothenburg/Askim. He is a 14-year-old boy with CP who communicates with single words. We need to strengthen the team around our client and are looking for someone who is responsible and considerate. The daily work consists of helping him with tasks he cannot do himself. You will primarily work in his home, so you need to be humble and attentive to both him and his family. The work is largely about being present for the client. You also need to be able to adapt to all the environments he spends time in. Heavy transfers may occur due to epilepsy, so good physical fitness is a requirement. Our client's interests include horseback riding, puzzles, taking the bus/train, going for walks, and observing his surroundings. The home has a rabbit and our client loves animals, so you should not have pet allergies. The position is perfect for someone who can work varying hours throughout the day, as shifts are scheduled for afternoons/nights and weekends. We are seeking a flexible and creative person who can motivate the client in appropriate activities, based on his daily condition. Assistant's Role and Experience As an assistant for our client, you are expected to work independently, be confident, responsible, positive, empathetic, and take initiative. You should see possibilities and be able to guide and motivate the client when needed, while understanding when it is appropriate to step back. We use a low-affect approach, which means you need to be calm and empathetic in your interactions. As an assistant, you need to be flexible regarding working hours because our work team shares staffing responsibilities if someone is sick or on vacation – we support our client and each other. We work together to make our client's everyday life as good as possible. Desirable Experience and Requirements Swedish fluency in speaking and writing. Not allergic to pets. Good physical fitness. Experience in personal assistance, childcare, or other healthcare services is desirable but not required. Experience with epilepsy. Working Hours/Employment Grade Start immediately or by agreement. Working hours: afternoons on weekdays, daytime on weekends, and nights on all days of the week. Daytime hours during school breaks as well. The position is 30 h/week, but during school holidays working hours are extended. To achieve this employment grade, you need to be able to work active night shifts. About Compensation We apply wages according to Fremia. Collective agreement. We offer wellness benefits and training.
