Assistant Needed for Client in Gothenburg/Askim

We are looking for an assistant for fixed hours and a summer substitute for our client who lives with his family in Gothenburg/Askim. He is a 13-year-old boy with epilepsy (EP) who communicates with single words. We need to strengthen the team around the client and are looking for someone who is responsible and caring.

The daily work consists of helping with tasks he cannot do by himself. You will primarily work in his home, so you need to be humble and attentive to both him and his family. The job involves being present for the client. You also need to be adaptable to all the environments he is in. There may be heavy transfers due to the epilepsy, so good physical condition is a requirement.

The client's interests include horseback riding, puzzles, taking the bus/train, going for walks, and observing the surroundings. There is a rabbit in the home, and our client loves animals, so you should not be allergic to furry pets. The position is perfect for students as the shifts are scheduled for afternoons and weekends. We are looking for a flexible and creative person who can motivate the client in suitable activities based on his daily condition.

Role and Experience of the Assistant

As an assistant for our client, you are expected to work independently, be secure, responsible, positive, empathetic, and proactive. You should see opportunities and be able to guide and motivate the client when needed, while also understanding when it is appropriate to take a step back. We work in a low-arousal manner, which means you need to be calm and empathetic in your interactions.

You as an assistant need to be flexible regarding working hours since we in the team manage staffing if someone gets sick or is on vacation – we support our client and each other. We work together to make the client's everyday life as good as possible.
