**Kurera Omsorg is now seeking personal assistants in Linköping**
We are looking for individuals who can work irregular hours, including evenings, weekends, and public holidays. Your work schedule may include sleeping on duty or awake night shifts.
The employment type is for the duration of the assignment or as a substitute as needed.
We prefer that you are smoke-free.
The work may involve personal transfers. It is primarily solitary work, but there may also be occasions with double staffing.
Introduction and training at the workplace will be provided by an experienced colleague before you start your first shift independently.
As an assistant, you will be required to assist with all ADL (Activities of Daily Living) situations and be available for various types of activities and leisure interests that the client wishes to participate in. This may include visits to relatives, friends, medical appointments, rehabilitation training at home or at rehabilitation centers, and sometimes the assistant may need to accompany the client on trips, etc.
Previous experience with medical aids is a plus, but training will be provided at the workplace, so it is not a requirement.
Assistive devices such as lifts, turners, and communication aids may be present with clients, and prior experience is desirable but not mandatory.
If you have previous experience with clear pedagogical methods, sign language as alternative communication (TAKK), or low-arousal approaches, we consider this a plus, but it is not a requirement.
You should be proficient in Swedish, both spoken and written.
As a personal assistant, you should be comfortable working in another person's home, where there may be a family and possibly children, with everything that entails.
You should also be comfortable accompanying the client in their leisure activities or hobbies. This can range from swimming, outdoor activities, theater, cinema, etc.
Kurera Omsorg has clients with various types of disabilities, and all our clients have different types of support needs.
We prefer that you have a B driver's license, as many of our clients have their own cars or live in areas where public transport is not available for commuting to and from work.
Kurera Omsorg seeks individuals who want to make everyday life as normal as possible based on our clients' needs and wishes. You should be creative, cheerful, and have a twinkle in your eye. You should simply want to make your client's everyday life the very best according to their wishes and desires each day.
We also prefer that you are in good physical shape, as there may sometimes be heavier tasks involved in your work as a personal assistant.

**About Kurera Omsorg**
Kurera Omsorg is a young and modern care company with three branches: Personal Assistance, Individual and Family, and Prepare and Match. Our headquarters is located in Malmö, and we also have offices for personal assistance in Västervik and Stockholm.
Working in three different branches provides us with excellent synergy effects. All our employees work in social care, but from different perspectives and with different backgrounds. This mix makes us both stronger and more innovative.
For us, our employees are everything. Without engaged, creative, and caring colleagues, we are nothing. Therefore, we take every recruitment very seriously and want to be there for our staff throughout their employment – with honest conversations, presence, and a genuine interest in ensuring everyone thrives and develops. When our employees are well, our clients are well too.
Kurera Omsorg can also offer social solutions that many other care companies find challenging to implement. For example, we work with family home placements with personal assistance, and we create internship and job opportunities for placed youth and young adults. We have both specialized expertise and a unique care approach for children, youth, and adults.
We always strive to work with commitment, responsibility, innovation, and joy. We want to make a real difference.
With us, there is a collective agreement, wellness benefits, and accessible managers. As an assistant, you work closely with your manager and have regular meetings with your workgroup.
