We are looking for engaged and reliable personal assistants for an 8-year-old boy who requires constant supervision and some care needs. Due to his illness, he has difficult-to-treat epilepsy, intellectual disability, and autism. He needs 24/7 supervision and an assistant who can create a calm and secure daily life.

About the boy:

The boy is a happy and charming kid who loves swimming and listening to music. He communicates partially with words and partially with body language. Previously, his primary language was sign language as support, which is still a help for him. Therefore, experience with sign language is a plus. His mood can change quickly, so it is important that you, as an assistant, have a calm and patient personality. Experience with low-arousal approaches and handling challenging behavior is desirable.

About the role:

As an assistant, you need to be attentive and stay one step ahead to minimize risks and create a safe daily life. The work takes place primarily in the home, which requires good cooperation skills, communication, and respectful treatment of both the boy and his family.

We would like you to have experience in personal assistance and epilepsy, but personal suitability is the most important factor.

Requirements and merits:

✔️ You are calm, secure, and responsive

✔️ You have good empathy and are cooperative

✔️ Experience with low-arousal approaches is desirable

✔️ Experience with epilepsy and personal assistance is desirable

✔️ Knowledge of sign language is a plus

✔️ A driver's license is required as you will be driving the client to and from school.
