Alma Assistans is an engaged company that, in collaboration with clients, creates personalized assistance. We work closely with our clients and know that good relationships are the key to well-functioning assistance. We operate throughout Sweden with our headquarters in Uppsala and local offices in Gävle, Stockholm, Göteborg, Helsingborg, Jönköping, and Växjö.
I am an 18-year-old boy who needs extra support in my daily life. I am active and like to stay busy.
I live in my own apartment in central Olofström, where there are good bus connections.
During school terms, I attend school and after-school activities, where I communicate with pictures.
In my free time, I like being outdoors. My "roller" has a third wheel so I can get around almost anywhere. I can stand on my own feet and exercise in my standing frame regularly (at least 60 minutes/day). I really like music. Others might get tired of hearing the same songs over and over, but familiar music makes me happy and calm. Routines are important to me, and my assistants work systematically throughout the day to create clarity.
Since I don't have spoken language, frustration can sometimes arise. It's important that you notice early signs and can redirect me in time. It's important that I know what will happen and feel prepared. When people don't understand me, I can get "flash angry" and maybe throw something on the floor or wave my arms. Then it's important that you as an assistant stay calm and don't get scared. As quickly as I get angry, I become happy again. I always have a trick up my sleeve; I like humor and laughter.
Who are you applying for this job?
If you apply, you should preferably enjoy being active while also being able to take it easy. You need to be stable and attentive; it's a merit if you have experience with autism and challenging behavior. Most importantly, you need to be grounded and have your heart in the right place. Here you have a chance to make a difference for a young man entering adulthood.
Team/summer substitute includes day, evening, awake night, and weekends. Work hours will be on school days Monday through Friday 08:30-19:30 and 14:30-21:30 and 21:15-09:10.
