Are you a person motivated to create a meaningful and fun everyday life for people? Then you might be the right person for Milla!

Who will you be working with?

Milla is 16 years old, has a rare diagnosis called Rett Syndrome, and lives with her parents, two older siblings, and a small allergy-friendly dog named Bosse in Billdal, just south of Gothenburg. The home is located near a bus stop with direct buses to Gothenburg.

Milla enjoys being around creative, playful, and initiative-taking people who like to come up with activities. She loves music and singing, movies, riding, and enjoys swimming and being outdoors. As her assistant, you will work with Milla on communication using an eye-controlled computer, implement training programs from a physiotherapist, and assist her with other basic needs. Milla needs help with most things. She can walk with assistance. You will be Milla's opportunity for interaction with others in her environment and support in her outward communication.

Job Scope

Milla is looking for someone who can work during the day and evening, as well as weekends, approximately 25 hours per week with the possibility of more hours. Weekend arrangements can be discussed based on needs and mutual preferences, as can the times. You will work about 65-70% on a fixed schedule, and from summer it will transition to a full-time position indefinitely!

Who are you applying? What is important for you to thrive in the role of Milla's assistant is primarily the right chemistry between you, Milla, and the family. Both Milla and her family place great value on personal maturity in you as an assistant, meaning you are calm and secure in yourself, self-reliant and initiative-taking, have a high degree of empathy, and know when to take space and when to step back. You are welcome to be interested in dogs and/or horses.

Milla prefers female assistants.
