Our goal is to have the most satisfied customers and the most proud employees in the industry. AssistansExperten's vision is to be the obvious provider of personal assistance for customers, relatives, employees, and commissioners with high quality requirements. We are a secure personal assistance provider that puts our heart into what we do. We offer the close contact of a small company combined with the extensive knowledge of a large one. With us, you are not just one of the crowd but an important cog in our daily work. We care about our staff, who are the backbone of our operations; here, you have the opportunities to develop in your role. AssistansExperten's core values are based on competence, engagement, and warmth. High competence ensures that every intervention maintains high quality and is adapted to the individual's needs. With genuine engagement, we work closely with our customers to create security and participation. Our warmth permeates everything we do – we treat every person with respect, care, and a big heart. Together, these values create a foundation for secure and meaningful assistance.
I am a 19-year-old guy with cerebral palsy (CP) and an intellectual disability. I have 24/7 assistance, including double assistance at all times except when I am at school. I am now looking for 1-2 assistants to join my wonderful team to work day and evening shifts. I would like you to start immediately, work with me this summer, and continue into the autumn. I am graduating this summer, and in the autumn, I will start my life as a young adult, with everything that entails. I hope you want to be part of this journey with me and my wonderful assistant group.
I am a social and active guy with many different activities and engagements in my daily life. The job as a personal assistant for me is about giving me the conditions to live as independent and valuable a life as possible. I have significant care needs with limited physical function, and you need to be in my immediate vicinity at all times to ensure security, safety, and well-being.
I have a great sense of humor, enjoy laughing, and easily charm those around me. I do not have my own verbal language but communicate using facial expressions, eye movements, and a variety of aids such as picture support, PODD books, eye-tracking computers, and signs as Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). As an assistant, you need to be empathetic, curious, attentive, and willing to learn my way of communicating to be able to read my signals. You need to see a great positive challenge in enabling me to live as independent a life as possible, where my right to choose for myself is respected.
The Team Around the Customer
You will join a wonderful group of about 15 colleagues who are a tight-knit team. In our team, we value loyalty, engagement, responsibility, participation, and joy as important traits for fitting in and doing a good job. We highly value that you, as part of the team, can vary between playfulness, fun, patience, and being yourself. It is important that you have a sense of privacy, as the work takes place in a family home, meaning you need to be able to collaborate with both parents and siblings. There is double staffing both during the day and at night, so you will always work together with a colleague.
For the right person, there is an opportunity to start a team leader role in the autumn. We currently have two team leaders in the group responsible for planning Alex's assistance, both big and small tasks. This may involve collaboration with habilitation services, speech therapy, planning activities, and coordinating with the project manager regarding recruitment and staffing. As a team leader, you will be Alex's, the family's, and the project manager's right-hand person. We expect high engagement, attention to detail, initiative, and the ability to communicate and collaborate easily with regional authorities and colleagues.

Employment Type: Summer temporary position with a chance to increase to 80%
Salary: Fixed hourly wage according to agreement. Other allowances according to collective agreement.
