Summer Job in Personal Assistance

Are you one of our care stars this summer? We are now looking for several summer substitutes in personal assistance. Our summer job period is between weeks 26-33, and there is an opportunity to start as a temporary worker already in the spring. Do you want a meaningful and appreciated job with good opportunities to continue working with us even after the summer? Have you previously worked with caregiving tasks? Then you might be one of the candidates we are looking for! JOB DESCRIPTION As a personal assistant, you will assist the user in their daily life. The work is independent and may include significant caregiving tasks such as dressing and undressing, assistance with toilet and shower situations, mobility assistance using a lift, catheter flushing, PEG management, tube feeding, and the use of a breathing mask. You will also support in meal situations, medication management, and other household chores, as well as participate in leisure activities, social interactions, and shopping. You will be the user's extended arm in everyday life and work in a person-centered, responsible, and inspiring manner. The working hours are irregular and often involve working day and night shifts. QUALIFICATIONS We are primarily seeking individuals who have completed or are currently pursuing a nursing education. If you have also worked as a personal assistant with many health and medical-related tasks, that is highly meritorious. As a person, you thrive in working independently and can take your own initiatives. You are attentive to the user's needs and have a genuine interest in helping others. Although the work is primarily independent, you should be able to communicate easily and professionally with others regarding the user, such as colleagues, nurses, rehabilitation staff, and relatives. It is highly advantageous if you have a driver's license, as well as experience and knowledge of alternative communication methods such as signs, pictorial support, and symbols. We also view positively if you have experience with challenging behaviors where you have acted in a low-arousal manner. You must be proficient in the Swedish language, both spoken and written, to communicate with users and document events and other information in your work. Some digital skills are also required, as much of the work—such as your work schedule and documentation—is managed via apps. Great emphasis will be placed on personal qualities and good references. The assignment often involves long working hours (day and night shifts), so we prioritize candidates who can work irregular hours, i.e., both during the day, evenings, nights, and weekends. Due to the requirements set by the Swedish Work Environment Authority for caregiving work, you must be at least 18 years old. About the application When you apply, we would like to receive a CV that outlines your previous qualifications. You may omit the personal letter; instead, you will answer a few selection questions. We place great importance on personal qualities and good references. When you submit your application, you can already order an extract from the criminal record register to expedite the recruitment process. What can we offer you? As a new substitute, you will undergo guided introductory and training components to feel secure in your work. As a summer employee with us, you will also have access to free outdoor swimming at Ekudden's outdoor pools. Additionally, you will have pleasant colleagues, develop your emotional intelligence, and gain valuable experience for the future! We warmly welcome your application!
