Vacant job

I am a playful 14-year-old boy living with my family in Ellös on Orust. I need a new assistant and I would love to have someone who still has a childlike spirit, is creative, positive, and can help me with everything that comes up in my daily life.

With me, it’s usually full speed ahead, and I love to play with my siblings, be tickled, jump on the trampoline, swim, watch Star Wars, go on outings, and take walks in my wheelchair with our dogs. In the summer, the most fun thing is to swim, both in our pool at home and at the beach, which is only a 10-minute walk from where I live.

I have a cognitive disability, autism, and ADHD, with silent seizures. I do not speak with words or walk independently. I also need help with eating; I receive food via PEG and eat regular meals with your assistance. Additionally, I need help using the toilet, taking my medication, getting dressed, and keeping my room tidy.

For me, it doesn’t matter how old you are, but you need to be a stable and mentally strong person with a strong work ethic. You should be a responsible adult while also being my fun playmate. If you have worked with children with autism and other disabilities before, that’s a plus, but it’s not a requirement.

If you have also worked as a personal assistant for children before, that’s an even bigger plus because you already know what it’s like to work in a family with all that it entails. You must not be allergic or afraid of dogs, and we would be especially happy if you like animals since our dogs and cats are a big part of our family.

To get to the workplace, you need to have a driver’s license and a car, as public transport to the client’s home is very limited.

Working hours/Duration: We are looking for someone every other weekend from 8 AM to 8 PM, as well as some shifts during the week. The shifts are from 2 PM to 8 PM or from 3 PM to 8 PM.

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

We conduct background checks and require an extract from the criminal record.

Start date: Immediately or by agreement. The position may be filled before the application deadline, so do not wait to apply!
