Description Personal assistance is a support service designed to enable people with extensive functional disabilities to participate in society and live as independently as possible. Personal assistance is based on the individual's needs. Job Duties We are now seeking a personal assistant for a child in a rural area outside Karlstad. Together with the guardians and colleagues, you will help create a stable, active, and meaningful daily life for the care recipient where routines and work methods are important. As a personal assistant, you will work in the child's home in close cooperation with the parents, and it is therefore important that the personal chemistry feels right for everyone. You are someone who wants to work with children and need to be physically active, alert, and have the ability to stay one step ahead while maintaining a high pace. You want to make a difference for the person you care for and are flexible and adaptable to meet the child's needs. In this assistance role, you are expected to be calm, secure, and stable with great responsibility. You need to be able to work independently, take initiative, and feel comfortable working alone. The position initially involves work one day per week, but the scope may increase over time. Qualifications We are looking for a woman who is a non-smoker and has strong Swedish language skills, both spoken and written. Communication and documentation are important parts of the assignment. It is a merit if you have previous experience working as a personal assistant, preferably with experience working with people with epilepsy, and knowledge of habilitation. The work requires that you are not sensitive to noise and you must be able to stay in environments where dogs and cats are present. It is also advantageous if you have relevant educational background in nursing, social work, or pedagogy. Great weight is placed on personal suitability and personal chemistry. A Class B driving license is required. Before employment, we will request an extract from the criminal record. It is therefore good if you order these extracts in time so you can present them if offered employment. The registers you should order are "Extract for work in the home with elderly people and people with disabilities" and "Extract for work with children with disabilities". Before you start working, you will receive an introduction to ensure you gain knowledge about the child's routines and support and care needs.
