Vacant job

We are looking for assistants for a 14-year-old girl with IF who lives just outside Sala with her family, which consists of the girl's parents, two younger siblings, and pets. The home does not have good transport connections, so you as an assistant need to have a driver's license and access to a car.

About the assignment The girl needs support in her daily life. As an assistant, you are attentive, calm, and secure. As an assistant, you are responsible for ensuring that the girl's everyday life is safe and understandable.

Experience with TAKK signs is prioritized with the girl, as well as communication through visual support in daily work and previous experience in assistance.

You will receive an introduction and ongoing professional development based on the needs of the assignment.
