We are looking for a substitute assistant for a cheerful, lively, and active 11-year-old girl. She is a forward-thinking, mobile girl who loves to play and have fun! Discovering and exploring new things is very exciting for her. She enjoys building with blocks, exploring the function and shape of objects, and loves playing in the playground or in the forest.

The girl lives in Skyttorp with her family. Good travel and bus connections are available. Assistance is also provided at the family's house in Denmark during school holidays.

Important: You must be meticulous as there is medical equipment, such as a manual suction device, saturation monitor, oxygen, and inhalation equipment.

Experience with tube feeding, PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System), sign language, visual supports, or communication programs, as well as experience with children with autism and hyperactivity, is advantageous. Training in respiratory monitoring, oxygen therapy, and first aid is provided by a skilled nurse through Home Child Care, Akademiska Barnsjukhuset.

It also includes motor and movement training in the form of play and exercises, as well as sign training.

You accompany her in daily life and are present at school, medical visits, outings, and trips with the family. As an assistant, you join her in both indoor and outdoor activities. The girl does not speak but is very communicative using sounds, signs, and body language. You will be her interpreter and translator to people she meets. She uses a TalkPad. The assistant helps and supports her in communication using PECS and TalkPad. Therefore, good written Swedish is required.

We are looking for someone who is calm and observant with great patience. You are confident working independently. You are used to taking care of children and have experience working in healthcare. You still have a child's heart and enjoy activating and playing with children. Since the work is in a family with children, personal suitability is of great importance.
