Vacant job

I am a woman over 40 living with my two dogs.

I speak, think, make decisions, and plan my days by myself unless I ask for your help.

If you see this as care and support, then I am not the right person for you to work with. Personal assistance is a service profession for me. No specific education is required to work with me, but the willingness to learn is essential, and you will receive an introduction to ensure both you and I feel secure. You will learn what you need to assist me personally. That is the essence of personal assistance.

I am now looking for a new star for my assistant group initially for the period 1/5-31/8-2025, including the holiday period, with a great chance of extension for the right person.

To fit into my life, you need to:

• Have a driver's license for a manual transmission and be experienced in driving.
• As a person, you need to be self-assured, adaptable to different situations, and have a strong sense of integrity. I believe you can switch between having a passive role and working quickly and efficiently when I need it. You don't mind taking it easy, but you're not slow.
• It is important that you are an animal lover and experienced in handling dogs, as I need assistance with care and walks. Being dog-friendly means that it is not enough to have just walked the neighbor's dog. If you have pets, there must be a functioning network since you cannot bring your own dog to work. There are also other animals in my vicinity.
• You need to feel comfortable and experienced with all household tasks, including intimate ones.
• You must be able to speak and understand Swedish fluently. That is the language I can give you instructions in. Instructions are provided both in writing and verbally.
• You must be a non-smoker. My personal assistants must be non-smokers, even if my surroundings are not always smoke-free.
• Since you are my human support and I take long walks with my dogs, you should be in good physical shape and possess some strength. No issues with your back, neck, knees, or shoulders.
• I am allergic to certain things and get headaches/migraines from strong scents. I sometimes find myself in environments where there are allergic individuals, so discreet scents are a must in my home.
• Travel, including day trips, weekends, or a few weeks abroad, may occur in this position.

In your application, I want you to tell me about yourself based on what I have written in this ad. I place great importance on personality, and no prior experience is required.

The work shifts are scheduled according to a rolling 4-week schedule, primarily day and night shifts, weekdays, weekends, and holidays. The position is 75% + on-call starting in May with an introduction beforehand.

STIL stands for the Founders of Independent Living in Sweden. We are a non-profit assistance cooperative and a non-profit association of individuals with diverse abilities. In STIL, the members themselves lead their personal assistants. We work for self-determination, freedom, and equal opportunities regardless of functional ability. STIL was founded in 1984, and we were involved in introducing personal assistance in Sweden. Read more at www.stil.se (http://www.stil.se).
