About the Assignment
I am a 21-year-old man seeking a dedicated and responsible assistant who preferably shares my great interest in sports. I study at Valjevikens Folkhögskola, located in Sölvesborg municipality in western Blekinge County, with a focus on sports, and I now need one assistant for a permanent position and one for a temporary position who can also step in as needed for my team of assistants around the clock. I need help with transfers, personal care, support during meals and tube feeding, as well as assistance with communication. In school, I also require practical help to complete tasks. I communicate verbally and with Bliss symbols. I can drive my power wheelchair independently but need help with my manual wheelchair. In my free time, I need assistance to engage in various activities, such as training, attending matches, or spending time with friends.
You, as an applicant, should be calm and secure as a person, have a sense of humor, be social, and preferably enjoy various sports just like I do. You should have the ability to sense when I need help and when to step back to give me space. A valid driver's license is required. I assume that you are a non-smoker.
I am now looking for an assistant for a permanent position and a temporary position, as well as on an as-needed basis, such as during regular assistants' vacations or illnesses when I am at Valjevikens Folkhögskola. This may also occur when I am home on breaks with my parents in Hässleholm. The permanent position is approximately 97% and the temporary position is about 84%. The work shifts vary, and the scheduled times are from 08:00 to 16:00, 16:00 to 22:00, and awake night shifts from 22:00 to 08:00. All assistance is considered active time, which means that you, as an assistant, are awake at night and help me as needed.
For me, it is more interesting to know why you believe it would suit you well to work with me rather than your qualifications from previous jobs unless they are relevant to the position. Interviews will be conducted on an ongoing basis, so you are warmly welcome to submit your application!
