Vacant job

We are now looking for a personal assistant who is positive, flexible, and has a professional attitude.

It is very important to us that our members receive good quality assistance, and you will be an important piece of that puzzle.

You are calm and secure and dare to be clear.

Previous experience working with people, professional experience in care and support, and/or education in the field is an advantage.

Experience working with individuals with autism is highly meritorious!

However, the most important thing is that you have an interest in working with people, and ultimately, it is personal suitability and your chemistry with the member that matters.

The member you will be working with is a guy born in 1992 with diagnoses of infantile autism and intellectual disability.

He lives in his own apartment centrally in Eskilstuna and has assistance around the clock.

The member enjoys taking walks, listening to music, and watching sports on TV. You will be a part of the member's daily life, with everything that entails. Tasks include cooking, cleaning, support with dressing and undressing, as well as participating in various activities with the member.

You will actively support in creating structure and predictability in daily life. For the member's well-being, it is important to have a safe and stable environment, as anxiety can lead to challenging behaviors. Otherwise, it is not a physically demanding assistance role.

The member is non-verbal but understands most of what others say. Some support signs are used to facilitate communication.

The position is 89% and the shifts are scheduled for day shifts from 8 AM to 7 PM and night shifts from 7 PM to 8 AM with about 3.5 hours of on-call duty per night. This may change to full-day shifts.

We are also looking for substitutes who can step in on short notice as well as for planned absences. Start date as soon as possible.
