Summer/Winter Substitute Assistant for 18-year-old in Central Olofström

Description:

Alma Assistans is a dedicated company that works closely with clients to create personalized personal assistance. We build strong relationships and understand that good communication is key to successful support. We operate throughout Sweden with our main office in Uppsala and local offices in Gävle, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Helsingborg, Jönköping, and Växjö. I am an 18-year-old boy who needs extra support in daily life. I am active and enjoy staying engaged. I live in my own apartment in central Olofström, which has good bus connections. During school terms, I attend school and activities, where I communicate using pictures. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors. My wheelchair has a third wheel so I can get around most places. I can stand on my own legs and train in my standing frame regularly (at least 60 minutes/day). I love music very much. 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 recognize early signs and can redirect me in time. It's crucial that I know what's going to happen and feel prepared. When people don't understand me, I can become "flash angry" and might throw something on the floor or flail my arms. In those moments, it's important that you as my assistant stay calm and don't get scared. Just as quickly as I become angry, I become happy again. I always have a twinkle in my eye—I like humor and laughter. Who are you? You should enjoy being active while also being able to take things slowly. You need to be stable and responsive. 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 man transitioning into adulthood. This summer/winter substitute position covers daytime, evening, overnight, and weekends. Work hours will be school days Monday through Friday 08:30-19:30, 14:30-21:30, and 21:15-09:10. Don't wait to apply—recruitment is ongoing.
