Vacant job

Hello,

I am an active 15-year-old boy currently on summer break, but I will be starting an adapted high school program in Motala this autumn. On weekdays, I am usually at school, and no assistance is scheduled then, which makes the job as my personal assistant a great fit to combine with, for example, studies.

Working hours are instead adjusted to my needs during school days, school holidays, weekends, and days off.

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

Who am I looking for?

The position suits you who are studying and looking for a meaningful and flexible part-time job alongside your studies. I am looking for you who enjoy working in a team with a clear focus on the child and close collaboration with parents and other family members. 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 in low-affective handling, clarifying pedagogy, and AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication)

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

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

About the recruitment process: We are in continuous contact with interesting candidates, and the position may be filled before the 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 get to see the result. You then choose whether you want 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 employer is a minor. You apply for this yourself here: The Swedish Police Authority (polisen.se). It is important that you select the police record for "Work with children with disabilities".
