About the Workplace
Furuboda Assistans is a private assistance provider in southern Sweden with roots in the non-profit Association Furuboda. The company was established in 2005 and is a growing enterprise. Currently, Furuboda Assistans consists of approximately 600 employees. We strive to be a role model in sustainable business practices. For us, sustainable business means having a strong customer focus, well-being among staff, and pursuing low climate and environmental impact, community engagement, and profitability that permeates all aspects of our operations.
About the Assignment
We are currently seeking an assistant to work with me in a position of 25% with the possibility of additional work as needed. The working hours vary and are distributed across day, afternoon/evening, and, when necessary, awake night shifts. I require assistance both on weekdays and weekends.
In this role, you will support and assist me in everything related to my daily life in consultation with me.
I am a man in my 40s who suffered a stroke at the age of 22. This has resulted in my current use of a wheelchair, lack of verbal communication, and significant care needs. I communicate through spelling. Experience in this method is not required, but you need to have the patience to understand my way of communicating.
The work involves everything from hygiene situations and transfers to managing a household and running errands. At certain times of the day, the work is performed with double staffing, so it is important that you can collaborate and communicate effectively with your colleagues. Helping me plan activities and enrich my social life is also an important part of the job.
I would prefer that you have prior experience in personal assistance, that you are positive, and have a solution-focused mindset.
The job also includes assisting me with medications and managing tube feeding, which will be done according to instructions from an experienced assistant.
If the above description fits you, I hope you take this opportunity to apply for this position.
I look forward to your application!
