We are currently seeking someone who wants to become a part of our wonderful team and work as a personal assistant in Vålberg.
What does the position entail?
The client is a 5-year-old boy living with his family in Vålberg, Karlstad. The boy has autism, an intellectual disability, and lacks spoken language. He primarily communicates through body language and sounds, and needs an assistant who can interpret his signals, complement and enhance communication, and help him navigate through daily life.
In this role, you will be closely involved in the boy's daily activities, providing support in everything that pertains to his day. This may include assistance with dressing and undressing, personal hygiene, and meals, as well as creating a safe and stimulating environment through play, routines, and presence. The boy has a high activity level and requires that the surroundings be adapted to his needs. There is a significant need for supervision and support in preventing dangers. As an assistant, you must be alert, secure, and present in every situation.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for someone who is self-assured, engaged, and attentive. We prefer that you have great patience and the ability to be personal while acting professionally. You have an interest in the person behind the disability and are driven to create good conditions for the client.
We would like you to:
• Have a genuine interest in helping others.
• Be able to understand and communicate in Swedish.
• Hold a driver's license, and preferably have access to a car.
• Be able to work flexible hours - days, evenings, and weekends.
• Have experience with autism.
• Have experience with AAC (alternative and augmentative communication).
• Have experience in care and support (this is a plus, but not a requirement).
