Personal Assistant with Experience in Low-Arousal Approach and Autism Wanted for Summer Job!
We are now looking for a proactive and initiative-taking personal assistant who wants to make a difference in someone's daily life this summer! Do you have experience with a low-arousal approach and autism? Are you also empathetic, secure, and warm as a person? Then this could be the job for you!
About the Assignment
Our client is a man in his 40s who lives in his own house in Bodafors, a bit outside of Nässjö. He has autism and exhibits challenging behavior, which means he needs support in his daily life. As his assistant, you will help with personal care, household chores, cooking, medication management, and support during daily activities and other events. Since he lives in his own house, some tasks related to garden and home maintenance are also included. Walks are part of the daily routine and can vary from a short trip around the block to longer excursions in nature.
Our client has a great interest in music and plays the piano daily, so if you share his passion for music, that is a significant plus. He also enjoys activities like square dancing and music cafés, where he often participates with double assistance. As he does not have verbal communication and expresses himself through gestures, body language, and sounds, it is essential that you, as his assistant, are attentive and responsive to understand his needs and signals.
Who Are We Looking For?
We are looking for someone who is empathetic, secure, and calm, while also being patient and attentive to your surroundings. You have the ability to read different situations and adapt to the client’s needs and signals. Taking initiative and motivating others comes naturally to you, and you work both independently and well in collaboration with others, which is important since double assistance is involved. Experience with a low-arousal approach and working with autism is advantageous, as are other previous experiences in personal assistance.
You must have a driver's license and access to your own car, as public transport is limited during working hours. Our client also has his own car, which you will occasionally drive as part of your duties.
What Do We Offer?
We offer an exciting and varied job with good employment conditions, where you have the opportunity to make a difference for someone else every day. You will receive a thorough introduction and shadowing with an experienced assistant. To ensure the quality of personal assistance, we provide our employees with several training sessions each year. We want you to thrive and are keen on a long-term collaboration.
