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 now looking for a personal assistant on an as-needed basis when the family is at their country house in Tierp. The girl loves animals, especially horses. She rides in her spare time and enjoys spending time in the stable. She also likes to play around, have fun, and dance.

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 need to be able to read situations, be alert to potential risks, and stay one step ahead to adapt the environment around her to remove any dangers during a seizure. The girl can usually express her needs herself and is clear about what she feels and appreciates. Picture support is used as a complement to speech. Play is the key to capturing her interest and motivation. As an assistant, you need to feel comfortable with playing and having fun.

Who we are looking for:

We are looking for someone who is confident in themselves and can handle stressful situations by acting quickly. You need to be focused, attentive, and have good reaction skills. The work takes place at the family's country house, 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 a happy and energetic young lady who loves to dance, play, and play games. She has a vivid imagination and enjoys moving between different activities throughout the day.

We see that you have an understanding of the girl's functional variations. The family always strives for the child to live as much like other children as possible, which is why 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 that she does not hurt herself if she has an epileptic seizure.
• Playing board games.
• Participating in daily activities at home. You need to be sensitive, responsible, and flexible.

Qualifications that are a plus:

• Previous experience in personal assistance or working with children/young people with functional variations.
• Experience with epilepsy or NPD (Neurodevelopmental Disorders) is a plus but not a requirement. Personal suitability is crucial.
