Bärkraft Assistans AB · Vollzeit

Örbyvägen 8B, Bärkraft Assistans AB, Schweden

Our client is a young adult man with autism who needs support and guidance in his daily life. He has difficulties with verbal communication and interaction with others. He is physically active and enjoys swimming, walking, cycling, and moving around indoors. There are also times when he prefers to sit still for longer periods. It's important that you don't get restless easily. It's important in this work to be attentive and able to switch between different tempos. A large part of your work is also to provide good supervision of our client as he is very impulsive and does not understand consequences or risks. The work involves following the client through his daily life and helping him with things he cannot manage on his own. Your work also involves being a pedagogical friend who gives him the opportunity to develop in the areas where he has difficulties. In working with the client, we are inspired by Son-Rise. A pedagogy based on low-affect interaction, acceptance, and following the person's interests to create challenges for the client that in turn provide opportunities for development. The client has assistance around the clock. He has daily activities on certain days. On his days off, he has assistance all day. Shifts can be scheduled during the day, afternoon/evening, and weekends. He has been approved for dual assistance during certain activities.
