Vacant job

We are looking for assistants for a 14-year-old girl with ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health) who lives just outside Sala with her family, consisting of her parents, two younger siblings, and pets. Since public transport connections to the home are not very good, you as an assistant must have a driver's license and access to a car.

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

Experience with TAKK (Signing to Enhance Communicative Competence) is prioritized, as well as communication through picture support in daily work and previous experience in personal assistance.

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