Inspirera Assistans AB works to ensure that the customer receives the safest assistance, and you as a personal assistant play a significant role in making this happen. Are you good at building good relationships, have a strong commitment, are attentive, and are used to taking responsibility and adapting to new situations? A good personal chemistry between the assistant and the customer is crucial for enjoying the role of a personal assistant. Each customer is unique, and their individual needs determine what you will do.

You now have the chance for a permanent position as a personal assistant to our 12-year-old customer. He lives just outside Linköping with his family in a house with good bus connections, which means you do not need a driver's license.

We have some expectations for you as an applicant, which is that you have your heart in the right place and are passionate about working with children.

Employment Rate:
We are now looking for hourly substitutes as needed and during the summer when the regular assistant is on leave.

Job Responsibilities:

• You will help and support our customer with most aspects of his daily life, which may include assisting with his training, an important part of his life. Support and assist during meal times and especially during playtime.
• Outdoor activities are an important part of the customer's life, so much of your working time will be spent outdoors; therefore, it is important to dress appropriately for the weather. You should be able to swim and accompany him to the pool.
• After working a waking night, you will help with morning routines and ensure he gets to school with the school taxi, which you will also accompany to ensure he arrives safely.
• The day shift starts by meeting him at school and riding the school taxi home.

About the Customer:
I am a wonderful 12-year-old boy living with my mom, dad, and siblings in a house with good bus connections, so a driver's license is not required.

A large and important part of my life is being outdoors, regardless of the weather, as it makes me feel good; therefore, you must wear weather-appropriate clothing while working with me. I can walk short distances if you help hold me, and like all 12-year-olds, I enjoy fun and play.

You will be my extended arms and legs. I am unsteady, so I need your help with all movements, assistance with my personal hygiene, support during meals, and help during my motor skills and communication training, as I do not communicate verbally. I have epilepsy and self-harming behavior that you need to be aware of, and you may need a dose of patience as I sometimes make sounds!

I am quick and strong, so you need to have good physical fitness, be attentive, and have a large portion of patience.

If you give yourself and me time to get to know each other, we will become a great team, and you will have a rewarding, meaningful, and fun job!

(On weekdays, the evening shift starts at school, as does the work shift for those who worked the night.)

Start date is according to agreement, but the need is immediate.
