About this role
Hello! I am a calm, social, and curious seven-year-old girl living with my mom, dad, and little brother in Midsommarkransen. I am now looking for an additional assistant to join my super team; could it be you?
I enjoy spending time with my family, taking it easy, going on small adventures in everyday life, and feeling the wind in my hair while swinging at the playground. A walk that ends at a cozy café is also always nice.
A large part of my days is filled with playful training, which I really enjoy! I train best when it is fun, varied, and when someone motivates me with energy and imagination. Therefore, I am looking for an assistant who dares to take initiative, play, come up with silly ideas, and make training the highlight of the day. Sometimes I also go horseback riding or to my parasport school, and I would like you to join me and support me during those activities.
I need support in most things I do, and I take my time to feel comfortable with new people. I understand spoken language, but I do not have my own speech. Instead, I communicate using sign language (TAKK), a PODD, and other small signals that you will soon learn to interpret. I also have a visual impairment, so it is important that you enjoy describing the world to me—verbally interpreting both big and small things so that I have the chance to discover all the exciting things around me.
If you are a person who likes to create security, take initiative, be playful, and join in both small and big adventures, then I believe we can become a really great team.
I would prefer that you have experience with children and work as a personal assistant, resource in schools, or similar. Scope: Part-time employment of approximately 35-40 hours/month. Working hours are scheduled for one afternoon/evening per week after my school (Wednesdays from 15:45 to 19:15) and approximately every other weekend. During school breaks, there is an opportunity to work more. Start date: By agreement.
About the recruitment process: We will continuously contact interesting candidates, and the position may be filled before the application deadline. As part of our recruitment process, we always conduct a background check before employment. If you are offered this position, you will also need to provide an extract from the police criminal record since the client is a minor. You can apply for this yourself here: Polismyndigheten (polisen.se). It is important that you select the criminal record for "Work with children with disabilities."
