Vacant job

Hello! I am an active 15-year-old boy attending a modified comprehensive school at the lower secondary level in Motala. During weekdays, I am at school, and no assistance is scheduled then. Working hours are instead adapted to my needs on school days, school holidays, weekends, and days off. Shifts are distributed between 13:00 and 08:00, including awake nights when I am in school.

I live in two home environments together with my parents, and I am looking for you who want to meet me where I am – both today and as I grow older. You want to contribute to safety, continuity, and development in my daily life.

You support me in my daily living through, for example, personal care and self-care, exercise, meal situations, and communication. You also contribute to social interaction and structure in daily life, as well as enabling an active and meaningful leisure time and family activities.

Who am I looking for?

I am looking for you who enjoy working in a team with a clear child focus and close collaboration with relatives. Personal suitability is very important.

You preferably have:

• Education in the disability field or equivalent experience
• Experience working with children with intellectual disabilities and/or epilepsy
• Knowledge of low-affective approach, clarifying pedagogy, and AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication)

It is an advantage if you have previous experience as a personal assistant and a valid B-driver's license.

To thrive in this role, you are secure, responsible, responsive, and professional in your approach. You can work independently but understand the importance of collaboration to create a functional and safe daily life.

About the recruitment process: We are in continuous contact with interesting candidates, and the position may be filled before the final application deadline. As part of our recruitment process, we always conduct a background check via Fortcheck, which is sent to you as a candidate via email and SMS. The background check is conducted entirely on your terms – you perform the check yourself and receive the results. You then choose whether to forward the information to us or cancel.

If you are offered this position, you will also need to show an extract from the police record since the client is a minor. You apply for this yourself here: The Swedish Police Authority (polisen.se). It is important that you select the criminal record extract for "Work with children with disabilities".
