About this role
My name is Oskar and I am 21 years old. I have assistance around the clock and am now looking for an additional part-time assistant. Last spring, I graduated from St. Erik’s Gymnasium, the national gymnasium for individuals with disabilities in Kungsholmen. I live in Lidingö with my parents and siblings.
I have cerebral palsy, which means I need help with everything, such as dressing, using the toilet, tube feeding, communication, stretching, etc. I use several aids, including a PEG feeding tube, cough assist machine, ventilator, Immowalker, and eye-controlled communication device, but you do not need prior experience with these as you will have the opportunity to learn.
The following basic requirements are set for applicants:
1. Very high work ethic: I am completely dependent on my assistants for everything, so it's important that you always arrive on time and understand that this is an active and significant job.
2. Good Swedish language skills: Although I mostly communicate through an eye-controlled computer, there may be times when I need to use a manual communication chart that you must be able to read.
3. Good physical condition: In several situations, manual lifting is required (I weigh about 55 kg), so you need to be physically fit. I would prefer a male applicant aged approximately 20-40 years.
4. Strong commitment and empathy: You will be my extended arm in everything, and I need your support and engagement to make my life dignified and fulfilling, while also respecting my right to self-determination and understanding the role of a personal assistant.
Good salary and other employment conditions, including additional pay for unsocial hours, following collective agreement. For the right person, there is an opportunity for a supervisory role and a higher salary.
