We are now seeking a personal assistant for a woman in her 50s with an ALS diagnosis, residing in Örebro. This position offers a meaningful opportunity to work closely with an individual and contribute to improved quality of life, safety, and independence in her daily life.
As a personal assistant, you are responsible for providing support with daily activities based on the user's individual needs. Work tasks include personal care, assistance with transfers, intimate hygiene, handling of assistive devices (such as a cough assist machine), motor training, and support with various activities. The work takes place in her home as well as in other environments where she spends time.
Work hours are scheduled during day and evening shifts, both weekdays and every other weekend. Work is largely performed with two staff members present. We view positively if you have the ability to work flexibly and can step in with short notice when needed, for example during sick leave.
You will be part of a work team where collaboration and responsibility are central. It is therefore important that you have good work ethic, are flexible, and contribute to a functioning team. Availability during the summer and vacation periods is desirable.
Qualifications
We are looking for someone who is confident in their professional role, has a professional approach, and the ability to work independently. You are flexible and can adapt to changing circumstances. You also have good ability to document and a genuine interest in working with people in care.
As a person, you are calm, patient, responsible, and have a positive approach. You have a good command of Swedish, both spoken and written, as clear communication is an important part of the work. Experience with personal assistance or similar work within care and healthcare is desirable.
Since we prioritize our customers' safety and well-being, we have a routine of obtaining extracts from the criminal record register for all individuals employed at the company. This means that upon employment, we will request a register extract from you before you start work.
We will only contact candidates who become relevant for an interview and the position may be filled before the final application deadline, so do not delay in submitting your application!
