Vacant job

We are looking for someone interested in working as a personal assistant to a woman in her 60s with MS. She lives in an apartment in Västerås and has a cat. In the role of an assistant, you will make a difference in her life and have the chance to help a person live a life on the same terms as others, as far as possible.

The work includes everything from personal care, intimate hygiene, transfers, use of various aids, assistance with activities, etc. The workplace is in her home and wherever she may be. You will work day shifts, evening shifts, weekdays, and weekends. We would also like you to be able to work with short notice if needed, due to illness or similar.

As you will be part of a team of personal assistants selected by and for your client, it is important to have a good work ethic where everyone supports each other and can work with short notice if needed, due to illness or similar. We also expect you to be available during the summer and holiday periods.

A driver's license is an advantage.

We would like you to have a flexible and independent working style and be able to easily adapt to new situations. You must be able to take responsibility as you work based on the individual’s needs. You should have good documentation skills and maintain a professional attitude. You should have a genuine interest and feeling for caring for people.

Other qualities that are beneficial for the job include a good sense of humor, calmness, patience, and being responsible.

Since we care about our clients' safety and security, we have a routine of obtaining extracts from the criminal record for all individuals employed by the company. This means that we will request a record extract from you before you can start working.
