User-directed personal assistant (BPA) is an alternative way of organizing health and care services. This includes practical and personal assistance, training, and support contact. The goal of BPA is to ensure that people with disabilities have the opportunity to live independently and lead an active and meaningful life in community with others. The user is their own supervisor, and Løten Municipality is the employer. As a BPA, you will help make daily life predictable and safe, and assist
the user in adjusting activities according to their daily condition and needs.
