Some nights, you will also be on call at Ebba's home. The position is a temporary contract until February 2026, with good opportunities for extension.

Who are you applying for? What is important for you to thrive in the role of Ebba's assistant is primarily the right personal chemistry between you, Ebba, and the family. Both Ebba and her family place great value on personal maturity in you as an assistant, meaning you should be calm and secure in yourself, self-driven and initiative-taking, have a strong empathetic ability, and know when to take space and when to step back.
