Personal Assistant for Young Adults within the LSS Framework
GOTHENBURG Personal assistance for young adults within the LSS framework. We are now seeking personal assistants for two brothers, born in 2005 and 2007, who live together in Angered, Gothenburg. Both have extensive care needs and receive personal assistance due to autism, ADHD, developmental disability, OCD, and gastrostomy, among other conditions. This means they require substantial hands-on help and support from their assistants so that structure and routines can create the calmest daily life possible. The work requires that you have the ability and interest in learning to work methodically while also being open to sudden changes. Since they cannot communicate verbally, AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) is used in daily communication—pictures, gestures, and signs. Their interests include animals, being outdoors, "playing," swimming, roughhousing, and music. We are looking for someone with lots of energy who is genuinely interested in working with service users within the LSS framework. It is an advantage if you have previous experience working within LSS, or alternatively experience working with people with disabilities, home care, nursing homes with extensive care needs, etc. Most importantly, you must be motivated and interested in learning within this field. You will primarily work as part of a team, though individual work also occurs. Education/experience with the mentioned diagnoses, low-demand interaction approaches, and alternative communication are merits. Work hours vary—days, evenings, and weekends. After completed introduction, also night shifts. Total work commitment: up to 100%. Individual salary based on competence, experience, and responsibility. Start date by agreement. Employment through our assistance company. Swedish personal number and a comprehensive police background check are required. We hire on an ongoing basis, so an early application increases your chances of employment. Send your application along with your CV and cover letter to [email protected]
