About job:

Work as a part-time personal assistant

Persons of Swedish residency and persons who recently arrived and have a work permit and speak good English, Spanish or German, are welcome to apply for a job with me.

About me

I need personal assistance to live a good life with a severe disability, a life with family, work, friends and interests. My personal assistants are therefore vital to me, and I try to offer them the best possible working conditions.

I have previously lived in Germany and the US.

My current seven personal assistants help me with everything I cannot do myself because of my disability: my personal care, bathing and toileting, shopping, cooking simple meals, cleaning and doing simple repairs in the house, taking care of the car, helping in the garden, running errands in town and accompanying me at work and out in town or on trips.

I use technical aids such as an electric wheelchair, a ventilator (which helps me breathe during the day and at night), a ceiling lift in my home, an adapted car, and a computer. There are a lot of batteries and battery chargers, cords and plugs to keep track of.

My assistants

- listen carefully and remember

- quickly learn my routines and remember them,

- pay full attention

- are handy

- are accurate, reliable and responsible,

- can work independently,

- respect the integrity of myself and my family,

- have an open communication style

- are flexible and able to travel

This is not just for the summer months

You would work throughout the summer months, fall and winter, etc.

No previous work experience as a personal assistant is required. However, a work permit, driver’s license and driving experience, some physical strength, manual dexterity, good English (for foreign travel) are required.

Good Swedish and good computer skills are an asset.
