Vacant job

Working hours are scheduled on weekdays in the afternoon/evening and during daytime on alternate Sundays. Daytime hours are also available during school holidays and days off.

Would you like to be part of setting up an assistance service as the first external assistant and make a difference in a boy's and his family's daily life?

Our client is an 8-year-old boy who enjoys speed, excitement, mischief, and noise. If he could decide, he would spend all day bathing, swinging, and listening to music. He also enjoys going outside for a while each day to get some exercise.

The boy requires constant supervision and needs help with everything in his daily life.

He lacks verbal language and communicates through body language and sounds. Therefore, it is required that you are attentive to various signals, calm, and able to interpret body language. His mood can change quickly, and as a personal assistant, you need to be observant to quickly and smoothly divert frustration.

During the day, the boy attends school without his personal assistant. After school hours, you will mostly work at the boy's and his family's home. Therefore, it is important that you are good at communicating, have a kind and respectful attitude, and possess strong empathetic skills.

The boy eats mostly via a feeding tube and requires supervision due to severe epilepsy.

The work is based on respect for the individual's self-determination and integrity. A thorough and clear introduction is provided upon employment.

A valid driver's license is required.

It is desirable that you have knowledge of child development, are pedagogical, creative, and enjoy trying out different activities together with the boy to support his development.

Since the client does not have spoken language and has difficulty expressing himself, it is required that you are creative, attentive, and observant of small signals. Experience in personal assistance and epilepsy is advantageous, but personal suitability and care experience will weigh the heaviest. Please include in your application when you are available for the position.
