Assistant Needed for Child in Uppsala

Description:

Job Description You will be working with me, a 7-year-old girl who enjoys music, dance, film, play, running around in my wheelchair, and nature walks with my manual wheelchair. I always need an adult nearby who interprets and supports, listens and initiates, but also supervises to ensure my safety. During the day, I attend school with my assistant. I am susceptible to infections, so during certain periods we may need to stay home instead of going to school. I need help with toilet visits, showering, dressing and undressing, transfers, tube feeding, inhalations and medication intake, as well as initiatives for play and interaction. My care needs likely involve heavy lifting on your part, so you need to be in good physical condition. I also have extensive mucus issues, so you need to be alert and have the calm to manage stressful situations that can arise related to this. I have my own communication style. You need to be creative, attentive, and responsive to both my subtle signals and body language. It is also important that you speak Swedish well, as in addition to not having spoken language, I have both a severe intellectual disability and reduced vision and hearing. I would appreciate it if you could use alternative communication methods such as sign language or visual support (TAKK). It is important to me that my assistants are cheerful, imaginative, and take their own initiative so that I have a fun and meaningful everyday life with people I can rely on. Who are you? We are looking for someone who is conscientious and reliable, committed to creating conditions for a meaningful everyday life for a child with significant challenges. If you are also resourceful and have an interest and curiosity in finding ways to communicate with non-speaking individuals, you would likely be a good fit. The client is susceptible to infections. Therefore, we are looking for someone who is responsible and understands the care needed to be a trusted personal assistant. An example of this could be if someone in your family is sick and you inform the activity manager, family members, and other personal assistants about the situation and wait a day before working a shift. That you avoid going to large public gatherings, such as the play area in the mall or taking the bus if not necessary, due to the higher infection risk in these places. It is important that you are attentive and able to follow, perceive, and interpret the child's needs and signals. Previous experience with children with multiple disabilities and care work is a merit. Special merit is knowledge and experience of tube feeding, medication administration and inhalations, as well as mucus mobilization. You can already, and have curiosity to learn more about alternative communication such as sign language and visual support. It is important to me that you have good collaboration skills and are clear in your communication handover so that you can convey my day and my needs to the next person so that the team functions well together. We welcome female applicants. You will work closely with the child's parent but largely independently when the parent is working, which requires a high degree of self-reliance.
