Female Personal Assistant Needed for Positive Girl, 60% in Southwest Gothenburg

A female personal assistant is needed for Leah, a social and cheerful 11-year-old girl living with her family in Hovås.

The job involves working afternoons/evenings on weekdays and longer shifts every other weekend.

Leah needs assistance with training on a training mat on the floor. Therefore, it is important that you are mobile and do not have any physical issues. She has a lift at home, but lifting may occur.

She does not have verbal communication and communicates via a pod-book. If you are not already familiar with this, you will be trained. However, it is important that you speak and understand Swedish very well, as you will need to interpret Leah for those around her. Leah enjoys reading books for children aged 0-9 years, and when it comes to magazines, Pets and Top Model are her favorites.

Since Leah trains in heated pools, it is important that you can join her in the water. You also cannot be allergic and/or afraid of horses, as Leah rides and you will need to assist her.

Additionally, she enjoys outings, ranging from Liseberg and Universeum to the library.

To work with children, you must, by law, have a criminal record extract, which you can apply for here: Criminal Record Extract (https://polisen.se/tjanster-tillstand/belastningsregistret/barn-med-funktionsnedsattning/).

The position will be filled as soon as we find the right assistant!
