Description

We are looking for you with a pedagogical mindset who wants to work with a 15-year-old girl in school and at home. The job involves being the girl's support in all daily situations. She is a happy and energetic girl who knows what she likes. She has multiple disabilities and is practicing learning to walk and to communicate using pictures and signs.

She loves school, especially her friends, sports, and when "Mrs. ABC" (Alfabeta) visits. At school, she needs someone who can help her participate in lessons in an interactive and playful way so that she can benefit from the education in the best possible manner.

At home, she enjoys going out into nature to look at animals or motor vehicles, playing around a lot, and never saying no to jumping on a trampoline or swinging. Hearing you read is great, or you can sing a little together. Fixing up the iPad is another favorite. She is tube-fed, receives inhalations, and at night she may sometimes need oxygen if necessary.

You will have the opportunity to see both yourself and the girl develop, and we can offer a competitive salary to the right person.

Requirements

• Ability to master and understand the Swedish language, both in speech and writing.
• Good initiative and ability to work independently.
• Physical ability to assist with transfers, e.g., in and out of a wheelchair (assistive devices are available).
• A extract from the Swedish Police Authority's record of offenses (belastningsregister) for working with children with disabilities will be required.

Merits

• Creativity and the ability to read and adapt to different situations.
• Driver's license and access to a car, as the family lives approx. 1.5 miles from Uppsala with poor bus connections in relation to working hours, and a few km to the nearest bus stop.
• Experience working with children with disabilities.
• Experience in pedagogical work or education within pedagogy.

We Offer

• A competitive salary.
• All necessary introduction and training so that you feel secure in your role.
• The opportunity to work in a wonderfully responsible and pleasant work group.
• A dynamic work environment where you have the opportunity to develop.

The job also includes covering extra shifts in case of illness and absence. This is a part-time position between 10-50%.
