Temporary Substitute Caregiver in Central Olofström

Alma assistans AB · Freie Mitarbeit

Ulricehamn, Schweden

Alma Assistans is a committed company that, in collaboration with clients, provides personalized personal assistance. We work closely with our clients and know that good relationships are the key to well-functioning assistance. We operate throughout Sweden with offices in Uppsala, Jönköping, Ulricehamn, Malmö, Helsingborg, and Växjö. I am a 19-year-old guy who needs extra support in my daily life. I am active and enjoy staying busy. I live in my own apartment in central Olofström, which has good bus connections. During school terms, I attend school and after-school programs, where I communicate using pictures. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors. My "wheelchair" has a third wheel so I can get around almost anywhere. I can stand on my feet and train in my standing frame regularly (at least 60 min/day). I really enjoy music. Others might get tired of hearing the same songs over and over, but I feel happy and calm from music I recognize. 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 occur. It's important that you notice early signs and can redirect me in time. It's important that I know what's going to happen and feel prepared. When people don't understand me, I can get "lightning angry" and maybe throw something on the floor or wave my arms around. Then it's important that you as an assistant stay calm and don't get scared. Just as quickly as I got 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? You who are applying are welcome to enjoy being active, while it's also important that you can take things easy. You need to be stable and attentive; it's an advantage 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 guy as he enters adulthood. Temporary/summer substitute work includes days, evenings, awake nights, and weekends. Working hours will be school days Monday through Friday 08:30-19:30 and 14:30-21:30 and 21:15-09:10. Don't delay with your application—recruitment is ongoing.
