Personal Assistant Needed for 12-Year-Old Boy

We are now looking for a safe, empathetic, and responsible personal assistant for a 12-year-old boy who lives with his family and requires assistance both at home and at school.

The boy has extensive disabilities and epilepsy, which means he needs a lot of support and supervision in his daily life. He primarily communicates through body language and presence, so it is important that you as an assistant are attentive, patient, and willing to get to know him to understand his signals and needs. Safe touch and physical closeness are an important part of his daily life.

Responsibilities:

You will support him in all parts of the day, including:

• Personal care, hygiene, and dressing/undressing
• Presence and stimulation
• Meal situations (feeding tube may be involved)
• Supervision and support related to epilepsy

We are looking for someone who:

• Is calm, kind, responsible, and organized
• Can work independently but also collaborate with family and staff
• Is willing to ask questions and feels secure in seeking support when uncertain

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working with children
• Experience with disabilities, epilepsy, or feeding tubes
• Training in CPR and/or FFT

Other Information

• Working hours: day and evening
• Non-smoker
• Driver's license is not required, but you need to be able to be on site by 7:00 AM

Previous experience is not a requirement but is considered a merit if you have a background in care and support or working with children. You need to have good knowledge of Swedish. We place great importance on personal suitability and are looking for someone who has a genuine interest in creating safety, continuity, and good relationships. We hope you want to work long-term.

If you recognize yourself in the description - then maybe you are the one we are looking for.
