We are looking for someone to work as a substitute personal assistant for a 13-year-old boy with autism in Täby. This position is suitable for those who are studying or have another job, as it is only a substitute role.
About the role
As a personal assistant, you will provide support at home after school, including supervision and assistance with meals through tube feeding. The work schedule is in the afternoon/evening from 4:15 PM to 10:00 PM, as well as some weekends.
Who you are
Since the boy is very active, it is important that you are alert and attentive, and enjoy being active. You are professional, have good judgment, and can set boundaries. You are empathetic and use a low-arousal approach. The job requires you to have patience and the ability to adapt your communication and approach based on the situation. You are confident, trust-building, and understand the importance of being a positive adult role model. You can work independently and take initiative. You must be able to write and speak Swedish, as the client's communication is limited. Experience working with individuals with intellectual disabilities and other functional variations is a requirement.
What you can expect from the job
Here, you will find a meaningful workplace where you together create a pleasant and safe environment. You will have the opportunity to make a significant difference in another person's daily life.
As an employer, we can offer:
- Wellness allowance
- Basic training in personal assistance
- Opportunities for further education
- Strong support in your role as a personal assistant
