Vacant job

I am a 46-year-old woman living in central Stockholm. I have many irons in the fire and am rarely still, even though I move around in a manual wheelchair, which you will need to push for me. I have a significant visual impairment, but I am not blind. Due to my impaired vision, I have difficulty orienting myself independently, so it is important that you can navigate using GPS or maps to get us to our destination. You should be solution-oriented and see solutions instead of obstacles when the situation requires it. You need to be fluent in Swedish, both spoken and written. Basic computer skills are a plus. I can communicate verbally myself and have many interests, including spending time with family and friends. I am looking for a woman (approximately 20-35 years old) who is energetic and enjoys an active lifestyle like I do. This is a part-time position suitable for someone studying or with other commitments. This role is service-oriented as I do not require medical assistance or any type of care. You will accompany me in my active daily life, whatever I am up to. I travel both within and outside Sweden, but this is planned well in advance. I am also looking for someone who is available to work in the summer. You don’t need to be super strong, but you should be stress-resistant and willing to pitch in when the situation demands it. Previous experience is not necessary as personal chemistry is key. Due to the nature of the job, only female applicants will be considered for this position. I have assistance 24/7 with sleeping on-call. Start date is negotiable. Only fully vaccinated individuals (at least two doses) will be considered for an interview. Does this sound like something that would suit you? Don’t hesitate to pick up the pen and get in touch! CV and cover letter should be sent to Blomgren7@telia.com (mailto:Blomgren7@telia.com). Please also include what types of shifts you can work, days, evenings, nights (sleeping on-call), etc. Flexibility is important for this type of job, but of course, we will agree on something that works for both of us. Don’t forget to include your contact information! Upon hiring, the assistance company STIL will be your employer, but I will be your supervisor. You will be covered by the collective agreement between Fremia and Kommunal.
