We are now seeking a personal assistant for a position of approximately 80%, with start date as soon as possible. The possibility also exists for a lower employment rate if you want to combine it with other activities.
About Me:
I am a happy and active 12-year-old boy living with my mom, dad, and two younger brothers in Linköping. During the day I go to school, but after school, in the evenings, and on weekends I need support from my assistants.
With me it's usually full speed ahead. I love being outside, doing fun things, and staying active. Some of my favorite activities are jumping on a trampoline, swimming, listening to music, swinging, playing with my little brothers, taking short walks in the forest and around the neighborhood, and riding a cargo bike when the weather allows. I also really enjoy going to the swimming pool.
I also participate in activities like music therapy and Händelseriket. As my assistant, you will join me in these activities and be an important part of my everyday life.
Who Are You?
I'm looking for someone who has kept their childlike spirit and enjoys playing, having fun, and doing activities. You are positive, engaged, and enjoy being active. At the same time, you are secure, responsible, and can work independently.
Since I don't communicate with spoken words, you need to be attentive, observant, and have the patience to wait for me. I express myself through body language and sounds, and it's important that you can read my signals and notice how I'm doing. I understand spoken language in simple instructions and phrases. However, I'm often clear about what I want.
I also want you to be positive and able to help me learn new things.
Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability, personal chemistry, and ability to work together.
About the Assignment:
Your workplace is where I am, based from my home in Linköping. You will help me in all everyday situations and join me in leisure activities, outings, and other adventures.
I have a cognitive disability and need help performing all activities in daily life as well as support in interaction and communication. I need a lot of active help with eating, using the toilet, getting dressed, and playing.
I can walk on my own but sometimes need support to get around. For longer distances I use a wheelchair or an all-terrain vehicle. Sometimes I get extra playful and active and then I run, so you need to be in good physical condition, be able to keep up, and help me avoid situations that could involve risks.
