Personal assistance should feel safe, respectful, and straightforward – a natural part of life where the client is in control. At OP, we have been working to create such assistance since 1998. Through precision, commitment, and a systematic approach, we ensure that the client's assistance works effectively. As a smaller company, we build close and long-term relationships. Many of our managers have themselves worked as personal assistants and have a deep understanding of the profession. We know what it takes for assistance to function in everyday life – not just in theory. Despite our size, we have access to support and resources from our larger group, Team Olivia. This means we can provide you with the personal service you need while also having the security and stability of a larger organization. OP Assistans currently has 55 clients and approximately 400 employees who are employed full-time or part-time. Our office is located in central Gävle. Would you like to know more about us?
