Vacant job

Here is a job where you don't just "go to work" – you step into someone's daily life and make it possible for them to live it fully.

We are now looking for a personal assistant for a young man who lives centrally on Hisingen together with his family. The position is filled by agreement.

About the assignment

This is a job where structure, presence, and humor need to coexist. Daily life includes both clear routines and spontaneous moments.

The support involves among other things:

• personal care and hygiene
• communication via pictures, speech computer, and iPad
• meal situations and daily routines
• creating security in transitions and activities

He does not have spoken language, but communicates actively in other ways – and this is where you come in as an important part of understanding, interpreting, and providing support in communication.

Who you work with

Interests that often make the days better:

• buses and trams in Gothenburg
• excursions by train to nearby locations
• restaurant visits
• swimming twice a week

This is a person for whom relationship and predictability mean a lot – and where small things in daily life make a big difference.

About the working method

You work together with a colleague in double assistance during certain shifts. This means that you cooperate closely, alternate between leading and supporting each other, and together create security around the person you work with.

We believe you are a good fit if you

• are confident in yourself and like to take initiative when needed
• find it easy to cooperate with both family and colleagues
• have a sense of humor and can be both calm and playful in the right situations
• speak Swedish and are attentive to how language and expressions are used in the moment
• preferably have experience with autism or similar functional variations (but the right attitude weighs heavily)

Working hours

• Monday 15:00–22:00
• Tuesday 12:30–22:00
• Thursday 12:30–22:00
• Weekend (even weeks) 13:00–22:00

This is a job for you who want a assignment where the relationship means everything. Where the days are not the same – and where you are actually a prerequisite for daily life to function.
