Personal Assistant for Active 9-Year-Old Boy

Popis:

Description Personal assistance is a support service that enables people with significant functional disabilities to participate in society and live as independently as possible. Personal assistance is tailored to the individual's needs. Work Tasks We are now looking for a personal assistant for a care team for one of our child cases in central Karlstad. Together with guardians and colleagues, you will be part of creating a good daily life for the person receiving care, where routines and working methods are important. You are someone who wants to work with children and who is comfortable with potentially challenging behavior. You need to be physically active and strong, alert, and have the ability to stay one step ahead. You want to make a difference for the person you care for and are flexible and adaptable to meet the boy's needs. As a personal assistant, you are a key player in helping this boy have a meaningful life and live like others. The boy needs support and help securing and safeguarding his environment since he lacks both consequence-thinking and impulse control, but is also sensitive to impressions and changes. The work involves seeing the world through the boy's curious eyes and adapting the environment accordingly so he can explore it on his own terms. Since the boy is active, the work includes, for example, long walks, bike rides, climbing in climbing structures, visiting the swimming pool, and being active outdoors year-round regardless of weather. The boy attends school, so on school days work hours are from afternoon to the following morning. You work every other weekend, and on weekends and holidays, work during daytime also occurs. As a personal assistant, you work in the boy's home in close collaboration with his parents, which is why it's important that the personal chemistry feels right for everyone. Since the work involves working with a child, an additional suitability assessment by the parents is included. In this role, you are expected to be calm, secure, and stable with a strong sense of responsibility, and to have a genuine desire to work with a child who needs active support to interact with his environment. Qualifications We welcome both women and men to apply, but you must be very fluent in Swedish. It is a requirement that you are a non-smoker! It is advantageous if you have previous experience working as a personal assistant, preferably with a focus on autism and low-affective interaction. We appreciate experience working with visual supports, sign language, and various assistive devices that make daily life easier. It is also beneficial if you have relevant educational background in nursing, social work, or education. Great weight is placed on personal suitability and personal chemistry. To succeed in this role, you need to be calm and confident in yourself and possess the ability to handle different people and their emotional expressions. You find it easy to create and maintain good relationships. You have a professional approach and a strong ability to collaborate with the individual, family members, colleagues, and other important professionals. In your work, you are responsible and thorough. Since situations can change quickly, you are solution-focused and flexible. We also see that you have good physical fitness to manage all the activities involved in the assignment. Before confirmed employment, we request extracts from the criminal records register. It is therefore good if you order these extracts in time so you can provide them when offered employment. The registers you order are "Control of your own information" and "Work with children within LSS". Before you start working, you will receive an introduction to ensure you gain knowledge about the boy's routines and learn to handle the equipment he needs. Night work involves on-call duty according to Appendix J.
