Vacant job

We are a family-owned business that has been working with personal assistance since 1995.

We offer personal assistance nationwide and provide service from experienced and competent staff who have worked in the industry for a long time.

We are now looking for personal assistants who can help a cheerful 14-year-old boy who loves playing, being playful, and taking long walks. He feels best with outdoor activities. He has a lot of energy and has great difficulty sitting still.

This boy can no longer communicate verbally and needs help with everything in his daily life and care.

However, he functions well physically. As an assistant, you do not need to help with transfers (i.e., no heavy lifting is involved), and he is usually cooperative in most things. Our client has a condition that gives symptoms such as severe intellectual disability, severe ADHD, and autism-like traits. The condition also causes significant sleep disturbances. He also has severe epilepsy. During the day, you help him with meals, hygiene, dressing and undressing, etc., take him on walks, bus trips, and to playgrounds. You supervise him when he uses his iPad and play with him (e.g., playing ball, building with Duplo, reading a book, singing, etc.).

In the evening, from bedtime, you supervise him when he watches his iPad in bed and tries to sleep, help him to the toilet, etc., when needed. At night, you supervise him while he sleeps and help him upon waking.

The position is primarily a few nights per month as well as weekend shifts. You must also be willing to work extra hours when regular staff is absent. Double staffing on holidays.

The workplace is in central Tyresö, near buses with frequent traffic to Gullmarsplan.

To apply for this position, please note that the following requirements are important:

• No animal allergies, as cats, dogs, and rabbits are present in the home.
• Fluent Swedish language skills (reading and writing).
• Not being afraid of occasionally outbursts; he is large and strong for his age.
• Calm and stable personality with high risk awareness.
• Empathy and the ability to read small signals.
• Positive, alert, and responsible. You must always be one step ahead.
• Having a sense of humor is a plus, as he is very humorous and likes to play.
• Medical knowledge is not a necessity, but it is an advantage if you are familiar with the above-mentioned conditions.
• Previous experience as a personal assistant is not required.

If this sounds interesting and the description above fits you as a person, we welcome your application.

All work with children within the LSS (Act of Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments) requires a certificate from the Swedish Police Authority (extract from the criminal record). We recommend ordering this when you apply for the position.
