We are looking for a personal assistant for our 10-year-old child who needs support to participate in daily life both physically and communicatively. The child has cerebral palsy and autism, is very social, and has several strong interests. Your role is to help the child understand and be understood by their surroundings, and when needed, provide emotional support. You will also enable physical activities such as dancing, play, and stretching. The work has great variety, from helping with transfers and picking up from school, to researching different special interests.
The family consists of two parents, an older sibling, and a cat, which means you cannot be allergic to pets. The work involves participating in the family's daily life and activities, both planned and spontaneous, which requires flexibility.
We are looking for someone who is attentive, empathetic, and comfortable switching between different roles. You need to be able to take your own initiative when the situation requires it, but also sense when you should step back so that the family's interaction and relationships can take center stage.
The role includes sometimes being active in play and activities and sometimes supporting the child in interaction with others without being the center of attention yourself.
The child uses signs, body language, and electronic communication aids to communicate. You will receive support in learning the child's way of communicating and simultaneously function as a link between the child and their surroundings.
The work is physical and requires good physical ability since assistive devices are not always sufficient. You need to be able to practically support the child in play and daily activities and help create opportunities despite physical limitations.
We believe you are a calm and attentive person who is good at reading people and situations. You are clear and honest about what you can and cannot do, dare to ask when something feels unclear, and have an easy time following instructions and routines. At the same time, you are flexible and can adapt when plans change.
