We are looking for a substitute assistant for a cheerful, lively, and active 11-year-old girl. She is a forward-thinking, mobile girl who loves to play and have fun! Discovering and exploring new things is very exciting for her. She enjoys building with blocks, exploring the function and shape of objects, and loves playing in the playground or in the forest.

The girl lives in Skyttorp with her family. Good commuting and bus connections are available. The assistance also takes place in the family's house in Denmark during school holidays.

Important: You must be meticulous as there is medical technical equipment, such as a manual suction device, saturation monitor, oxygen, and inhalation equipment.

Experience with tube feeding, TAKK (Picture Exchange Communication System/Signs as support and complement to speech), sign language, visual aids, or communication programs, as well as experience with children with autism and hyperactivity, is meritorious. Training in respiratory monitoring, oxygen treatment, and first aid is provided by a skilled nurse through Home Child Care, Akademiska Barnsjukhuset.

The girl needs help in her daily life with hygiene, gastrostomy care, medication, inhalation treatment, adapted drinks and food, respiratory monitoring, and high-flow oxygen therapy with MyAirvo 2 during sleep. It also includes motor and movement training in the form of play and exercises, as well as sign training.

You follow her in her daily life and are involved in school, healthcare visits, excursions, and family trips. As an assistant, you accompany her to both indoor and outdoor activities. The girl does not have her own speech but is very communicative using sounds, signs, and body language. You will be her interpreter and translator to people she meets. She uses a TalkPad. The assistant helps and supports her in communication using TAKK and the TalkPad. Therefore, good Swedish skills, both written and spoken, are required.

We are looking for you who are a calm and observant person with great patience. You are confident working independently. You are used to taking care of children and have experience working in healthcare. You still have a child's heart and enjoy activating and playing with children. Since the job is in a family with children, we place great emphasis on personal suitability.

This is an active, awake assistance service, divided into 2–3 shifts during the day. Currently, we are looking for someone for a substitute position on a rotating schedule at 75%. You must be able to work daytime hours at school, and evening and night shifts on weekdays and some weekends are included.

Other requirements:

• You are a non-smoker.
• You must master Swedish in speech and writing.
• The substitute position is on a rotating schedule for 12 months but may be terminated early if the regular assistant returns sooner.
• Opportunity for full-time work during the summer.
