Inspirera Assistans AB works to ensure that customers receive the safest assistance, and you as a personal assistant play a significant role in making this happen. Are you good at building good relationships, have a strong commitment, are attentive, and are used to taking responsibility and adapting to new situations? A good personal chemistry between the assistant and the customer is crucial for enjoying the role of a personal assistant. Each customer is unique, and their individual needs determine what you will do.

You now have the chance for a fantastic opportunity to become a personal assistant to our wonderful 11-year-old customer who lives in Linköping with his family in a house with good bus connections, which means you do not need a driver's license. We have some expectations of you as an applicant, and that is that you have your heart in the right place and are passionate about working with children.

Employment rate:

1 part-time position, approx. 50-100%, and 1-2 substitutes as needed.

Job responsibilities:

• You will help and support our customer with most aspects of his daily life, which may include assisting with his training, an important part of his life. Support and help during meal times and especially during his playtime.
• Outdoor activities are an important part of the customer's life, so much of your working time will be spent outside, so it is important to dress appropriately for the weather.
• After working a waking night, you will assist with morning routines and ensure he gets to school with the school taxi, which you will also accompany to ensure he arrives safely.

About the Customer:

I am a wonderful 11-year-old boy living with my mom, dad, and siblings in a house with good bus connections, so a driver's license is not required.

A large and important part of my life is being outdoors, no matter the weather, which makes me feel good; therefore, you must dress appropriately for the weather when working with me. I can walk short distances if you help hold me, and like all 11-year-olds, I enjoy fun and play.

You will be my extended arms and legs. I am unsteady and therefore need your help with all movements, assistance with my personal hygiene, support during meal times, and help when I am training my motor skills and communication since I do not communicate verbally. I have epilepsy and a self-harming behavior that you need to be aware of! I am quick and strong, so you need to be physically fit, attentive, and have a great deal of patience. If you give yourself and me the time to get to know each other, we will become a good team, and you will have a rewarding, meaningful, and fun job! Everything will be clearly explained during the introduction.

Working hours are scheduled as follows:

• Night shifts Sunday-Friday from 10 PM to 8 AM (waking night)
• Weekdays from 1:30 PM to 8 PM and on weekends or days off from 8 AM to 8 PM

(On weekdays, the evening shift starts at school, as does the work shift for those who worked the night.)

Start date is according to agreement, but the need is immediate. Before you start working independently, you will go through 5 introductory shifts where you will shadow an experienced assistant to learn routines and get acquainted with the boy and his family. It is therefore desirable if you can start the introduction as soon as possible.

Are you the one we are looking for?

It is advantageous if you have:

• Knowledge/experience of epilepsy
• Possible knowledge of cognitive disabilities
• Experience with individuals with self-harming behavior
• Previous experience as a personal assistant or other educational work

Other:

• Since the customer is a minor, you must be able to present a certificate from the criminal record. See link: https://polisen.se/tjanster-tillstand/belastningsregistret/barn-med-funktionsnedsattning/ (https://polisen.se/tjanster-tillstand/belastningsregistret/barn-med-funktionsnedsattning/)
• You need to have Bank ID/mobile Bank ID to view the schedule and sign your time report at the end of the month.
• Pay slips will be sent to Kivra.
• Selection is ongoing, so please apply in good time.

Salary and contract:

Inspirera Assistans applies individual salary setting, and you as an assistant will receive a fixed base salary per hour + vacation pay, as well as additional compensation for evenings, weekends, and nights.

We have a collective agreement with Kommunal/Vårdföretagarna branch G.
