Working hours:

Monday and Wednesday afternoons as well as Friday afternoon/night. Positions need to be filled immediately for both 50-100% employment and hourly substitutes.

About you and the client:

We are looking for both men and women; it is important for the position that you have several years of experience in personal assistance and want to work for an 18-year-old boy with autism.

He enjoys walks, movies, and music. It is also fun to help with cooking, grilling, and baking, which are daily tasks.

Communication is done with the help of pictures, but he understands when spoken to. Your workplace will be in Älvsjö, where he lives with his family.

We are looking for a personal assistant who is passionate about working with youth. For this job, you need to have several years of experience as a personal assistant and experience with children with autism.

You also have experience working with individuals with challenging behavior. Since the boy communicates using pictures, it is an advantage if you have experience with communication tools like PECS and Grind. Otherwise, you will receive training on-site.

Furthermore, it is important that you are confident in what you do, independent, proactive, and patient. You are a driven person who is physically and mentally strong.

In the role of assistant, you will for example:

• help him with daily tasks.
• assist with hygiene and dressing.
• support him in communication with his surroundings.
• support him in activities inside and outside the home.

Requirements:

• You are pedagogical in your approach.

• Stable person who sees the position long-term (short-term positions are not relevant).
• Have a playful spirit.
• You are able to take and follow instructions easily.
• You are meticulous as it involves administering some medications during the shift.
• You are pet-free and smoke-free due to allergies in the home.
• You should be able to cook, such as Swedish home cooking; baking is a plus.
• Fluent Swedish in speech and writing is required, as a logbook is kept daily and communication courses are conducted regularly.

Meritorious:

• Some form of education in healthcare and/or experience working with clients with somatic diagnoses.

A background check is required.

We look forward to your application!
