Start date by agreement. You will begin with an introduction schedule before receiving your own regular shifts. We can be somewhat flexible with the work hours if you wish to work slightly less. Please include your preference in your application. The position involves a varied schedule based on the client’s decisions. Applicants should be fully aware of what it means to work overnight shifts.
Please also indicate any preferences regarding start date, work hours, or other important information we should know about. Thank you! I am unfortunately unable to hire anyone with pet allergies or who uses tobacco products, including substitutes such as white snus and e-cigarettes.
It is as difficult for me to summarize this position briefly as it is for you to give a complete presentation of yourself in a letter. This is because the role of a personal assistant is based on the individual’s life, and as you hopefully understand, my life is just as diverse as yours. Nevertheless, I will try to explain who I and my friends/assistants are looking for...
To begin with, my assistants have the following shifts: full days from 08:00 to 20:00, morning shifts of 5–7 hours, and afternoon shifts of 5–6 hours. The overnight shifts are 12 hours, from 20:00 to 08:00. Therefore, it is vital that you have a good understanding of what this entails. You should be able to adjust your sleep schedule and be able to sleep during the day, so that you can come to me refreshed and rested in the evening. I am thus dependent on my assistants around the clock, even if you never work full 24-hour shifts. If you do not have previous experience with night shifts, you are certainly welcome to apply; just remember that a night job does not mean your day lasts 24 hours. Rest, sleep, and recovery are very important when working at night.
The introduction will start with daytime shifts, even if your schedule includes both night and day shifts. This way, we will get to know each other well and you will learn as much as possible about my life. It is also pleasant and important that you get to know my other friends/assistants. Everyone should be able to cooperate.
You, as an applicant, should be self-driven and confident in yourself. You must have a fluent command of Swedish, both spoken and written, and you should also be able to swim. We expect that you can handle common household tasks and assist and support me in my daily life.
Previous experience as a personal assistant is not a requirement, although it is seen as an advantage. Your attitude and understanding of the profession, as well as what it means to be my personal assistant, are the most important factors. A position as my personal assistant includes, among other things, commitment, initiative, great patience, a friendly demeanor, flexibility, and good cooperative skills. We place great importance on personal suitability. Developing a relationship does not happen overnight, so I am looking for someone who genuinely wants to do their best for me by getting to know me and understands that this is the key to success.
It may sound harsh, but my requirement is that you, the applicant, are driven, responsible, and also come up with your own initiatives, regardless of how I am feeling on a given day. How much energy I have can vary greatly due to my severe epilepsy, and you should therefore be able to take your own initiatives and be flexible when plans need to change. My interests also vary depending on the season. In the summer, I love swimming in my pool; that is truly a favorite. I also enjoy everything from cooking and running with my marathon wheelchair to visiting museums, concerts, and going to the gym, just to give you some hints.
The role of a personal assistant is varied, but with me, you can think of your responsibilities as consisting of three parts:
1. You help me with all basic needs with a great sense of integrity and respect.
2. You are my physical support, which means it is beneficial for you to care about your health and enjoy exercising in your spare time.
3. You are my motor in daily life, and together with your colleague, you are responsible for planning activities and routines.
These three aspects of your professional role should be infused with friendliness, as this is how cooperation in my group functions best and how I wish to be treated. I turned 20 a few years
