ABOUT THE POSITION

Bättre Assistans is currently seeking a casual assistant for a young man in Boden! The working hours are scheduled as follows:

• Weekdays: 16:00-21:00

• Weekends: 10:00-17:30.

In this role, you will act as a personal assistant for a young person with a disability who requires extensive and structured support in daily life. For the client to feel secure, it is of utmost importance to provide clear structure, predictability, and a calm environment. Communication takes place using augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) methods, which includes the use of sounds, body language, signs, and visual aids. A central aspect of the assistance is the high need for active supervision and presence during all waking hours. In your work, you will become a crucial part of the client's daily life, directly contributing to both security and quality of life.

This is a meaningful and developing job where you get the chance to make a significant difference in a young person's life.

CLIENT'S INTERESTS

In his spare time, the client enjoys activities such as listening to music or YouTube clips, being physically active by running and jumping, and playing with water.

Furthermore, the role includes active safety responsibility and supervision, where continuous presence and proactive work are used to manage and prevent challenging situations to maintain a safe environment. You also provide support in communication and social interaction by actively using communication aids and interpreting the client's signals. Finally, you are responsible for accompanying the client to community activities, outdoor stays, and transport.

ARE YOU THE ONE WE ARE LOOKING FOR?

We are looking for someone who is clear, responsive, and has a low-affective approach. It is crucial that you have the ability to build a long-term relationship and create familiarity, as the client can become stressed by new contacts and other people.

We need someone who is calm and secure in their role, even when situations become challenging.
