About this role
I am a 37-year-old man living in Täby, but I plan to move to Åkersberga. I am now looking for assistants of a similar age who would like to work with me as my personal assistant. Some of my interests include visiting various types of museums, going to the movies, concerts, music, genealogy, and history. I am also very interested in hockey, and AIK is the team closest to my heart. It would be great if you also like hockey and perhaps even AIK, but if you prefer another team, that is of course fine.
I use a wheelchair and need assistance with eating, drinking, dressing and undressing, showering, and toilet needs, in other words, pretty much everything. I require assistance to live, and I enjoy going out and doing things, preferably outside the home. I understand everything but cannot speak verbally. When I communicate, I use body language and a letter board to express what I want. I am currently training to use a new communication aid that is eye-controlled.
I have a severe cerebral palsy condition since birth, I have spastic muscles, and I have epilepsy. I can experience mild seizures from time to time that drain my strength and energy, but they always pass on their own.
It can be a bit frustrating not to always be understood, so it is good if you have enough patience for both of us. I am a guy with a lot of humor, so I would like you to be someone who enjoys laughter and has a positive attitude.
I would appreciate it if you are good at coming up with your own initiatives and suggestions for fun activities to do during the day. Feel free to be creative, but also have a great understanding that my energy and desires can vary from day to day.
Sometimes I have a small West Highland White Terrier that I take care of for my sister, so you cannot be allergic to dogs. I enjoy swimming, so it would be suitable if you also like that and are not allergic to chlorine. I like to play games because I can roll the dice myself, which is a nice feeling.
In the summer, I sometimes stay at my summer house in Riala, and due to poor public transport to that location, it is good if you have a driver's license and access to a car, but this is not a requirement for applying.
When do you need to be available?
You will work 24-hour shifts from 8:00 AM to 8:00 AM, including on-call duties. I hope you can start your introduction soon.
I am looking for both someone who wants to work a fixed part-time schedule and someone who wants to work weekends.
I do not require previous experience in similar work; personal suitability is what is valued most. I would prefer male applicants, but women are also welcome.
