Vacant job

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for someone who has retained their childlike spirit and enjoys being active and coming up with ideas. Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability, chemistry, and teamwork ability. You are a lovely and child-loving person who is also comfortable working independently. You need to have patience to be able to wait for the client’s signals.

Meritorious:

- Previous experience in care or working with children

I am a 12-year-old boy living with my mom, dad, and younger sibling. During the day I go to school, but in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends I need assistance. As an assistant, I want you to enjoy being active, being outdoors, and also playing and having fun. I like it when things happen, so it’s good if you are creative and come up with activities and new ideas. I also want you to be positive and help me learn things. With me, it’s usually full speed, and I love jumping on the trampoline, swimming, listening to music, swinging, playing with my sibling, and taking short walks in the forest and surrounding area.

I have cognitive, autism, and ADHD disabilities which mean that I do not speak with words and need help with all daily life activities as well as interaction and communication. I can walk but sometimes need support to get around, and when I need to travel longer distances, I use a wheelchair. Sometimes I can be extra playful and active, and then I run, so you need to be quite quick to keep up and ensure that I do not expose myself to dangers. I also need a lot of active help with eating, going to the toilet/changing diapers, hygiene, dressing, and playing.

Working hours and employment rate:

Schedule 50-60%, as long as the assignment lasts (if you want to combine it with another job you can). The weekly schedule is from morning to evening or half days. During school holidays, working hours can be scheduled during the day on weekdays instead.

Salary: Fixed hourly wage by agreement. Other compensations according to collective agreement.

About the employment conditions:

We follow Fremia-Kommunal's collective agreement for Personal Assistance.

Criminal record extract:

An extract from the criminal record is a requirement because the boy is a minor. According to law (2010:479), regarding background checks of staff who will perform certain services for children with disabilities, we as employers are required to request a record extract from all employees who will work as personal assistants for a child under 18 years. The record extract must be submitted to us as the employer before starting employment. You can order the record extract according to LSS from the Police using Bank-ID, at the following web address: https://polisen.se/tjanster-tillstand/belastningsregistret/barn-med-funktionsnedsattning/ If you do not have Bank-ID, you can instead order the record extract via this link: https://polisen.se/tjanster-tillstand/belastningsregistret/barn-med-funktionsnedsattning/blanketter---barn-med-funktionsnedsattning/
