About this role
Hello,
We are looking for an assistant for our 13-year-old son. The working hours may vary, but right now we are primarily seeking assistance on weekdays after school from 5:00 PM to 9:00/9:30 PM. However, if any of our other assistants are unavailable or sick, there may also be opportunities to work on weekends.
About our son Adam:
Adam is a cheerful and energetic boy who loves to be active. He enjoys going on outings, especially to playgrounds, 4H farms, and training tracks in scenic environments. He also likes to travel by bus and train, swim, listen to music on TV, and play with his iPhone.
Adam has a rare chromosomal anomaly that has resulted in an intellectual disability and an autistic condition. He is physically strong and can move independently, but he functions at a younger child's cognitive level and therefore needs assistance with all aspects of his daily life, such as hygiene (diaper changes), dressing, meals, mobility, and exercise. Adam does not have verbal speech and is being trained to use PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System).
About you:
We want Adam to develop in the best possible way, and we hope that you:
* Are proactive and willing to challenge yourself and Adam to come up with fun activities.
* Are curious about learning the child's limitations and potential.
* Are reliable, organized, and responsible, with the ability to adapt to different working methods and situations.
* Are empathetic and possess good communication skills.
* Are non-smoking.
Working hours:
The working hours are scheduled Monday to Thursday from approximately 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM.
We prefer candidates with prior experience in assistance, who are active and comfortable taking initiative.
Please state your salary expectations when applying.
Interviews will be conducted on an ongoing basis via phone and/or in person.
We have a collective agreement and offer our employees wellness benefits.
We will require a copy of your passport (SV) or residence card (EU) or residence and work permit/LMA card (non-EU) before employment.
According to the law on background checks, anyone working with minors must provide an extract from the police's criminal and suspicion register before employment. You can find the form HERE.
