Vacant job

We are now looking for a personal assistant for a cheerful boy. You will become an important part of his daily life, supporting him in play, activities, and development, while contributing to security, inclusion, and a meaningful everyday life.

A large part of the work takes place in a preschool environment. He enjoys being outdoors, playing, swinging, jumping on a trampoline, and sledding in winter. He is also very interested in cars and other vehicles.

The working hours are mainly during the day between 09:00-16:00, and every other Saturday from 10:00-18:00. The working hours may vary depending on the citizen's needs.

The position is 91.22%. You have the right to work up to full-time in other parts of the Disability Sector based on the organization's needs and in dialogue with you as an employee. Probation may apply, and the start date is by agreement.

Your new job

As a personal assistant, you work closely with a child with a disability and provide individually adapted support based on the child's needs, conditions, and situation. The role involves independent work where you simultaneously collaborate closely with other key actors around the child.

A large part of the working time is spent at the preschool, where you support the child in both daily routines as well as play, learning, and social activities. The tasks are varied and include personal care, such as help with personal hygiene, tube feeding, and handling oxygen, as well as support with transfers and participation in various activities.

In this role, you collaborate with preschool staff, child habilitation services, and the child's guardians to create the best possible conditions for development, inclusion, and well-being. The work can be physically demanding and includes, for example, lifting and transferring the child in and out of a stroller and other aids. Therefore, it is important that you have good physical fitness. Documentation is an important part of our work, which we are legally obliged to perform. We therefore expect you to have good computer skills and the ability to express yourself well in writing.

• Personal care
• Collaborate with guardians, preschool, and other important people in the child's network

We are looking for you

We are looking for someone who is secure, stable, and has good self-awareness. You are empathetic and have the ability to put yourself in other people's situations and perspectives. To thrive in this role, you need to be flexible and adaptable when conditions change. We expect you to work professionally, follow decisions, guidelines, and routines, and receive feedback constructively. You collaborate well with others, build trusting relationships, and communicate clearly and respectfully with the child, guardians, colleagues, and others. The role requires you to take responsibility for your tasks, work independently, and drive your work forward in a structured manner. You are clear in your communication, ensure that information reaches its destination, and follow up when necessary.
