About the role

Personal assistance is a support measure under the Swedish LSS (Law on Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments). As a Personal Assistant, you will primarily help the client with daily needs and basic requirements.

Crafting is also a favorite, with Duplo, coloring books, puzzles, and memory games used frequently. The client’s individual needs dictate the workday, which may include assistance with mobility, personal care, training, communication, as well as daily chores and activities both at home and out in the community.

Who are you?

The role of a Personal Assistant requires strong interpersonal skills. We are therefore looking for someone who is empathetic, engaged, and responsible. It is also important that you can take initiative and proactively identify what needs to be done. To thrive in this role, it is essential that there is good chemistry between you as the assistant and the client.

The following qualifications are meritorious:

• Experience working with individuals on the autism spectrum
