Wonderful child seeks assistants

We are looking for a personal assistant for our 10-year-old child who needs support to participate in everyday life both physically and communicatively. The child has cerebral palsy and autism, is very social, and has several strong interests. Your role is to help the child understand and be understood by their surroundings, and to provide emotional support when needed. Also to enable physical activities such as dancing, playing, and stretching. The work is highly varied, from assisting with transfers and picking up from school to researching various special interests.

The family includes two parents, an older sibling, and a cat, which means you cannot be allergic to pets. The work involves being part of the family's daily life and activities, both planned and spontaneous, which requires flexibility.

We are looking for someone who is attentive, empathetic, and confident in switching between different roles. You need to be able to take initiative when the situation requires it, but also know when to step back to let the family's interactions and relationships take center stage.

The role involves sometimes being active in play and activities, and sometimes supporting the child in interactions with others without being in the spotlight yourself.

The child uses signs, body language, and electronic communication aids to communicate. You will receive support in learning the child's way of communicating while also serving as a link between the child and their surroundings.

The work is physical and requires good bodily ability, as aids are not always sufficient. You need to be able to support the child practically in play and everyday activities and help create opportunities despite physical limitations.

We believe you are a calm and perceptive person who is good at reading people and situations. You are clear and honest about what you can and cannot do, dare to ask when something feels unclear, and find it easy to follow instructions and routines. At the same time, you are flexible and can adapt when plans change.
