Vacant job

Are you a caring and engaged person who wants to make a real difference in the life of a young girl? We are looking for a secure, responsible, and present personal assistant for an active and cheerful 11-year-old girl.

The girl loves animals, especially horses. She rides in her spare time and enjoys spending time at the stable. She also likes to play around, dance, and have fun. On weekends, the family sometimes travels to their summer house in Roslagen, about a two-hour drive from Stockholm.

The girl has treatment-resistant epilepsy and a mild intellectual disability. This means she requires active supervision and needs someone by her side at all times. As an assistant, you must be able to read situations, be alert to potential risks, and stay one step ahead to adapt her environment to prevent dangers during a seizure. The girl can usually express her needs herself and is clear about what she feels and appreciates, using picture support as a complement to speech. Play is the key to capturing her interest and motivation. As an assistant, you need to feel comfortable playing and interacting with her.

Who we are looking for:

We are looking for someone who is confident in themselves and can handle stressful situations while acting quickly. You need to be focused, attentive, and have good reaction skills. We also see that you are comfortable in a stable environment and with horses, and are willing to jog alongside the girl when she rides if needed. The work takes place partly in the family's home, which requires sensitivity, respect, and the ability to adapt to others' routines and needs. You need to be professional while also being a natural part of everyday life.

The girl is a cheerful and energetic young lady who loves to dance, play, and play games. She has a vivid imagination and moves easily between different activities throughout the day. We expect you to understand the girl's functional variations. The family always strives to allow the child to live as much like other children as possible, and it is important that you, as an assistant, share this goal.

Things to consider: The girl has a mild intellectual disability and epilepsy, which means:

• Daily seizures (often short but unpredictable).
• Need for constant presence and attention.
• You need to be able to act quickly and calmly to prevent falls and injuries. During a seizure, the girl can fall suddenly and without warning.

Examples of common tasks:

• Personal hygiene and care.
• Being present and adapting the surroundings for the client so she does not injure herself if she has an epileptic seizure.
• Engaging in activities if the client wishes, such as going to the stable to ride, stable care (mucking out paddocks), taking a commuter train trip, or baking.
• Playing board games.
• Your tasks may also include accompanying her to school and participating in daily activities at home. You need to be sensitive, responsible, and flexible.

Meritorious qualifications:

• Previous experience in personal assistance or working with children/young people with functional variations.
• Experience with epilepsy or NPF (Neurodevelopmental Disorders) is meritorious but not a requirement. Personal suitability is decisive.
