Vacant job

Are you a caring and engaged person who wants to make a real difference in the life of a young girl? We are looking for a secure, responsible, and present personal assistant for an active and happy 11-year-old girl.

The girl loves animals, especially horses. She rides in her spare time and enjoys spending time at the stable. She also likes to play around, dance, and have fun. On weekends, the family sometimes travels to their summer house in Roslagen, about a two-hour drive from Stockholm.

The girl has difficult-to-treat epilepsy and a mild intellectual disability. This means she needs active supervision and someone by her side at all times. As an assistant, you must be able to read situations, be alert to potential risks, and stay one step ahead to adapt her environment and remove dangers during a seizure. The girl can usually express her needs herself and is clear about what she feels. She appreciates picture support as a complement to speech. Play is the key to capturing her interest and motivation. As an assistant, you need to feel comfortable playing and joking around.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for someone who is self-assured and can handle stressful situations while acting quickly. You need to be focused, attentive, and have good reaction skills. We also see that you are comfortable in a stable environment and with horses, and that you can keep up with running when the girl is riding. The work takes place partly in the family's home, which requires sensitivity, respect, and the ability to adapt to others' routines and needs. You need to be professional while also being a natural part of everyday life.

The girl is happy and energetic, and loves to dance, play, and play games. She has a vivid imagination and moves easily between different activities throughout the day. We look for someone who understands the girl's functional variations. The family always strives for the child to live as much like other children as possible, and it is important that you, as an assistant, share this goal.

Things to consider

The girl has a mild intellectual disability and epilepsy, which means:

• Daily seizures (often short but unpredictable).
• Need for constant presence and attention.
• You need to be able to act quickly and calmly to prevent falls and injuries. During a seizure, the girl can fall quickly and without warning.

Examples of common tasks

• Personal hygiene and care.
• Being present and adapting the surroundings so she does not injure herself during an epileptic seizure.
• Carrying out activities if the customer wishes, such as going to the stable to ride, stable care (mucking out paddocks), taking the commuter train, or baking.
• Playing board games.
• Accompanying her to school and participating in daily activities at home.

Your tasks require you to be sensitive, responsible, and flexible.

Qualifications

• Previous experience in personal assistance or working with children/young people with functional variations.
• Experience with epilepsy or neurodevelopmental disorders (NPF) is an advantage but not a requirement. Personal suitability is decisive.

We offer you a varied and meaningful job, where you as an employee are encouraged to make your own wise decisions. We have a large selection of digital training and other tools to help you develop in your professional role. Of course, we also offer a wellness allowance.
