I am a social 41-year-old man living in Rönninge. I am active and enjoy spending time with friends, going to the gym, attending concerts, visiting museums, and watching movies. One of my great interests is collecting autographs.
I use a walker for mobility, but I need significant practical assistance when it comes to using my hands. I also have a visual field restriction, which makes it challenging for me to navigate especially in unfamiliar environments and I struggle if something suddenly appears in my line of sight.
As a personal assistant, you will help me live the life I want. I am looking for someone who can work a few shifts each week but who can also be flexible and step in occasionally beyond that. Your duties include assisting me with personal hygiene, helping with meal preparations, cleaning, and accompanying me in the activities I choose to engage in. You should be calm, attentive, flexible, and have a great sense of humor. You are active and enjoy coming up with new ideas. Experience in writing is a plus.
Due to poor public transportation in the area, it is advantageous if you have a driver’s license and access to a car, but this is not a requirement for applying.
Previous experience in assistance is not necessary as your personal suitability and chemistry between you and me are what matter most.
STIL will be your employer, which stands for Foundation of Independent Living in Sweden.
