Vacant job

We are looking for personal assistants for a 14-year-old boy with autism, ADHD, Tourette's syndrome, Pica syndrome, and an intellectual disability. He lives in Tyringe with his family and requires supervision during all waking hours, as well as support in daily activities to ensure they are carried out effectively.

His leisure interests change frequently. One week he may want to play with his toy cars, while the next week he might want to play with his collection of cleaning supplies. He needs space to be left alone but must always be under supervision. He is very creative and has a strong interest in creative activities such as drawing, baking, playing with clay, or building things out of paper or wood. He also enjoys fairy tales and watching movies. To succeed in this role with our member, it is important that you are genuinely interested in learning about and engaging with the member's interests.

The member uses personal assistance to manage his daily life, which, in addition to his interests and schooling, involves challenging behaviors. He needs your help to guide and support him through daily situations that can be difficult for him to understand. You will work in double assistance during all waking hours, making collaboration with other colleagues essential.

We are looking for someone who is positive, creative, and resourceful. Your daily tasks will mostly involve staying one step ahead of the member, whether that means preventing challenging behaviors or actively engaging him in positive activities. Previous experience with low-affective interaction (low-arousal approach) is desirable.

We are looking for someone who can step in as a temporary substitute when our regular staff is sick or on leave. Shifts are scheduled at various times, but typically between 07:45–13:45 or 13:45–20:00. Night on-call duties are from 22:00–07:00.

We will invite candidates for interviews on a rolling basis. We will only contact candidates who are shortlisted for an interview. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the position, please do not hesitate to contact [email protected].

We look forward to receiving your application!
