Would you like to work as a personal assistant and contribute to equal rights for everyone to a good life?
In this role, you will make a difference in people's everyday lives and work with us toward Humana's vision – Everyone has the right to a good life.
About the Position
Personal assistance is a service under LSS (the Act Concerning Support and Services for Persons with Certain Functional Disabilities). As a personal assistant, you will primarily help the client with everything that comes up in daily life and with basic needs. Your work involves safeguarding the client's self-determination and integrity, and contributes to making everyday life run smoothly. Each assistance arrangement is uniquely tailored to the client's life, so work tasks may vary depending on the workplace.
The client is a 29-year-old woman who lives in her own apartment and has assistance around the clock. She has epilepsy and autism and lacks speech, but has good understanding of what is said and communicates using sign support (TAKK). Among her greatest interests are horseback riding, swimming, and being outdoors. As an assistant, you will be an important source of security and a helping hand in both daily routines and during these valued activities.
Who Are You?
The role of personal assistant places high demands on the ability to build good relationships. We are therefore looking for someone who is attentive, engaged, and takes responsibility. It is also important that you can take your own initiative and see what needs to be done.

For this position, you must:
wish to work with a 29-year-old woman living in Östersund
