Who will you be working with?
We are now looking for someone who wants to work as a personal assistant on weekends and weekdays for a lovely 13-year-old girl living in Tjörn with her mother, father, little brother, and cat. She is a girl with a charming personality, a lot of energy, and many emotions typical of teenagers. She enjoys being outdoors, riding her scooter, and playing with toy cars.
Together with her assistants, she has the opportunity for fun and safe days. Regardless of the weather, she prefers to spend her free time outdoors, engaging in both small and large adventures, such as playing in the garden and other outdoor activities. She also enjoys playing simple video games and watching TV. She likes going on outings or riding, as there is a horse in the family. Music is also something that is close to her heart; she loves both singing and listening to music.
As an assistant, you will support her with her basic needs in daily life, such as food, hygiene, and communication. She walks independently and communicates using speech and picture support. Your workplace will primarily be at her home.
Job Scope
This position is a part-time employment, and we are mainly looking for someone who can work weekend shifts (the extent will be agreed upon) with shifts approximately from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. We would also appreciate if you have the opportunity to work weekday evenings and additional days during the girl's school holidays!
You must have a driver's license and your own car, as it is difficult to reach the workplace without a vehicle. The girl lives near Rönnäng in Tjörn.
Who are you as an applicant?
You who want to work with this charming girl should be comfortable with animals, as there are a cat and a horse in the family. You also need to be able to combine the role of being a safe and supportive adult with actively participating in the girl's play and activities. We also prefer that you are a resourceful and creative person who enjoys sharing the girl's interest in being outdoors in all weather conditions. If you also play an instrument or enjoy singing, that is a plus.
As an assistant, stability and maturity are required, as the work will at times demand patience. Sensitivity is also necessary, as the role of the assistant alternates between being more passive and more active.
For this position, we are looking for someone who understands what it means to work as a personal assistant in someone's home, has experience working with children, and preferably has experience with autism.
In summary, we are looking for someone who:
