Hand in Hand Cooperative is a member-governed organization founded in 1995 for individuals with the right to personal assistance. Our members are located in Skåne, Halland, southern Småland, Västra Götaland, Stockholm, and Jämtland. We have offices in Halmstad, Hässleholm, and Malmö. We support our members with everything from applying for hours with the Social Insurance Agency/municipality to personnel issues related to personal assistants. We believe that work as a personal assistant is one of the most important jobs that exists, as you become an opportunity for another person, enabling them to live their life like everyone else.
We are seeking personal assistants for a 14-year-old boy with autism, ADHD, and an intellectual disability. As assistance is new to him, you will enter at an early stage and have a great opportunity to help establish a high standard of support. He lives with his family in Tyringe and requires supervision during all waking hours, as well as support in daily activities to ensure things are done well. He is a very active boy who enjoys being on the move. He needs to have privacy but under supervision. He is very creative and has a strong interest in creative activities such as drawing, baking, playing with clay, building things with paper or wood. He also enjoys stories, watching movies, and is interested in flags.
We are now looking for someone interested in working as an hourly substitute when our regular staff are sick or need time off.
Previous experience with low-affective approach is meritorious.
We will continuously invite candidates for interviews. We will only contact candidates who are relevant for an interview.
