On behalf of our client in Tygelsjö (Malmö Municipality), we are now seeking experienced, flexible and attentive personal assistants who want to become an important part of a dedicated team.
We are primarily seeking hourly employees with high availability and flexibility, who can work days, evenings, nights and weekends. For the right person, there is an opportunity to transition to a permanent position later on. We would appreciate it if you could start as a temporary hourly assistant right away to get into the work and get to know the client and the team.
About the Client
The client is a 15-year-old girl who, following a brain tumor and later an accident, has extensive support needs in her daily life. She needs assistance with:
Personal hygiene
Transfers
Training and exercise
Medication
Tube feeding
Respiratory machine at night and as needed during the day
Despite her challenges, she is a cheerful, social and spirited girl who laughs a lot and loves being active. She is developing slowly but steadily, and her assistants play an important role in encouraging her to exercise and try new things.
She enjoys swimming, as it gives her greater freedom of movement, and she loves music, dance, horse riding and being outdoors. She does best when she receives stimulation and social interaction - otherwise she easily becomes sad and apathetic.
Communication occurs primarily through body language, facial expressions and emotions, and she learns more and more each day. It is also important that you speak to the client and include her in her daily decisions and routines. Therefore, as an assistant, you need to be empathetic, patient and confident in interpreting her signals.
