Who will you be working with? 

We are looking for another fantastic assistant for our 18-year-old daughter with Rett syndrome. Our daughter lives with us, her parents and brother, in eastern Kortedala in Gothenburg. She is a curious girl who loves to be social with others and to move around. At home, we dance a lot and enjoy adventures in the forest. She has a secret language that means she communicates with her body and eyes.

As her personal assistant, you will be part of her daily life. Your job will also involve taking care of her basic needs (ADL) and daily hygiene. You will need to provide active supervision when you are together and interpret and translate her communication to the surroundings.

You will, of course, receive a good start with an introduction from both us parents and current assistants. Everything to ensure that you and our daughter thrive together.

Scope of the position

We are now looking for a personal assistant who can work every other weekend on a temporary basis. You will work Saturday-Sunday from 11 AM to 6 PM, on odd weeks. We wish to fill the temporary position as soon as possible, and it will last until week 26. We are a small group of assistants and would appreciate if you can step in extra when needed.

Who are you applying? 

We are looking for someone who:

• Is a clever, enthusiastic person with a great sense of humor

• Is reliable, meticulous, and self-sufficient

• Has fluent Swedish in both speech and writing

• Is smoke-free

It is also advantageous if you:

• Have experience with TAKK (sign language support), or a desire and commitment to learn this

• Have experience with eye-controlled computers and/or the communication tool PODD/VOCOCHAT
