We are looking for a substitute assistant for a cheerful, lively, and active 11-year-old girl. She is an outgoing, mobile girl who loves to play and have fun! Discovering and exploring new things is very exciting for her. She enjoys building with blocks, exploring the function and form of objects, and loves to play in the park or in the forest.

The girl lives in Skyttorp with her family. There are good transport connections available. Assistance is also provided at the family's house in Denmark during school breaks.

It is important that you are meticulous as there is medical equipment such as manual suction, saturation meters, oxygen, and inhalation equipment.

Experience with tube feeding, TAKK/sign language, visual support or communication programs, and working with children with autism and hyperactivity is an advantage. Training on respiratory monitoring, oxygen therapy, and emergency care is provided by a qualified nurse through Home Pediatric Care, Akademiska Children's Hospital.

Motor skills and movement training through play and exercises, as well as sign language training, are also included.

You will accompany her in daily life and be present at school, medical visits, outings, and family trips. As an assistant, you will participate in both indoor and outdoor activities. The girl does not have her own speech but is very communicative through sounds, signs, and body language. You will be her interpreter and translator for the people she meets. She uses TalkPad. The assistant helps and supports her communication with TAKK and TalkPad. Therefore, good Swedish skills, both spoken and written, are required.

We are looking for someone who is calm and observant with great patience. You should be comfortable working independently. You are used to caring for children and have experience in healthcare. You have retained your childlike spirit and enjoy engaging and playing with children. Since the work is in a family with children, we place great importance on personal suitability.

This is an active, alert assistance role, divided into 2-3 shifts throughout the day. We are currently looking for someone for a 75% substitute position. You should be able to work daytime hours at school, and evening and night shifts on weekdays and some weekends are also included.

You are a non-smoker. You need to have a good command of Swedish in both speech and writing. The substitute position is for a scheduled period of 12 months but can be terminated early if the regular assistant returns sooner. There is also the possibility of full-time work during the summer.
