I am a 48-year-old woman living in central Stockholm. I lead a social and active life and am now looking for one or more personal assistants who want to accompany me in my daily activities. I use a manual wheelchair, which you will help me operate, and I have significant visual impairment. I can communicate independently but need your assistance to navigate more easily – therefore, it is important that you can use GPS or maps to find the right way. You and I will do a lot together – everything from errands and coffee with friends to trips within Sweden and abroad (planned well in advance). The job does not involve care or medical assistance, but rather support for an active daily life. The position is service-oriented – I do not require any medical care.
I believe you are a good fit if you are:
* A woman aged approximately 20–45 years
* Cheerful, responsible, and enjoy dynamic environments
* Solution-oriented and not afraid to take initiative when the situation demands it
* Fluent in Swedish, both spoken and written
* Basic computer skills
* Enjoy working in a social and active setting
You do not need prior experience – chemistry and collaboration are the most important factors. The position is part-time and is suitable for someone studying or working part-time. We will agree together on working hours and create a schedule that works for both of us. Your workplace will be wherever I am.
Assistance is needed around the clock and includes sleeping shifts. Due to the nature of the tasks, the position is only open to female applicants. Only fully vaccinated individuals (at least two doses) will be invited for an interview.
Please apply by emailing your CV and cover letter to:
[email protected]. Also, indicate which shifts you are available for, e.g., day, evening, night, weekend, and do not forget to include your contact information.
Employment is through STIL, and you will be covered by the collective agreement Fremia–Kommunal.
