Assistant Needed for Client in Eskilstuna

We are currently looking for an assistant for our client, a 20-year-old girl living in her own apartment in Eskilstuna. We are looking for someone who wants to work on a 50% schedule.

Our client has autism and communicates with her body language, her own words, and pictures. During the day, she is at a daily activity center, so the work shifts are scheduled for the afternoon, evening, and night. She enjoys going out to swim or take a walk - having a packed lunch makes it even more fun. To ensure our client feels safe, we are looking for a female assistant, as she feels most comfortable with that.

Role and Experience of the Assistant

We are looking for a calm, attentive, flexible, and meticulous person who is used to working closely with their client. You should be able to see opportunities and guide and motivate her when needed, while also understanding when it is appropriate to take a step back. We work in a low-arousal manner, which means you need to be calm and empathetic in your approach. If you have experience with autism and visual support, we see it as an advantage, but the most important thing is that the personal chemistry is right between you both. You will receive introduction and training in all aspects of the client's support needs and routines. It is very important that you speak fluent Swedish so that you can understand each other.

Desirable Experience

• Experience in similar work.
• Experience with autism.
• Knowledge of visual support.
• Low-arousal approach.
• Swedish spoken and written.
• Driving license B is a requirement.

Working Hours/Employment Rate

• Part-time 50%.
• Extra as needed for sick leave and vacation.
• Immediate start.
• Working hours around the clock, (except 08:30-13:30 weekdays)
• On-call during night shifts.

About Salary

We apply salary according to Fremia. Collective agreement. We offer wellness benefits.
