Vacant job

About the assignment

We are looking for a secure, sensitive, and engaged female personal assistant for a 9-year-old boy with autism and severe intellectual disability in Trelleborg.

The boy lacks verbal language and requires constant supervision and presence in daily life. He moves quickly and may suddenly run off, so you need to be observant and able to anticipate his actions. He also struggles to understand consequences and needs support in all aspects of his daily routine.

It is important that you have experience working with autism and intellectual disabilities, and that you are empathetic, calm, and confident in your interactions. Knowledge of choking first aid and the Heimlich maneuver is advantageous as the boy sometimes chokes on food.

The boy enjoys being active and appreciates activities both indoors and outdoors. He likes, among other things, going down slides, visiting playgrounds, taking the bus, and playing with his younger brother.

Responsibilities

• Pick him up from school at home
• Assist with hygiene and care
• Support during meals
• Activities inside and outside the home
• Be a secure and present support throughout the day

We are looking for someone who:

• Has experience with autism and intellectual disabilities
• Is sensitive, observant, and empathetic
• Has patience and can work calmly and structured
• Is physically active and enjoys being on the move
• Preferably has knowledge of the Heimlich maneuver and handling choking incidents

Working hours

• Weekdays: 17:00–08:00
• Weekends: 09:00–09:00
• The work includes 6.5 hours of on-call duty during the night

Personal suitability and the ability to create security and good contact with the boy and his family are highly valued.
