Do you identify as calm, attentive, and enjoy working closely with a person who needs support in their daily life? This could be the job for you!

We are looking for stable and caring assistants with good physical fitness and stress resilience for an important role as a personal assistant. The job involves double staffing around the clock and therefore requires good teamwork skills. You are a team player, flexible, and have a caring side.

You will be his extended arms and support him in everything from personal care to handling aids and creating a smooth and safe daily life. You will work in his home – a calm and pet-free environment.

• Handling of aids – Use of cough machine, oxygen machine, suction device, PEG, tube feeding, communication aids, and wound care.
• Communication support – You need to be able to read facial expressions and body language to understand the needs of the person you are assisting.

• Previous experience in personal assistance or care – you feel confident in handling aids.
• Attentive, calm, and flexible – you see what needs to be done and adapt to the situation.
• Soft and secure demeanor – while also being independent and proactive.
• Non-smoker and fluent in Swedish – you speak, understand, and read Swedish without any issues.

• Contract: The position starts with introductory shifts and part-time employment. If everything goes well, there is the possibility of fixed shifts in the schedule. In your application, you can indicate your availability for work.
• Work shifts: Double assistance around the clock – the work is always done with two assistants present to provide the best possible support.

Working as a personal assistant is more than a job – it is a way to facilitate daily life for someone else while feeling that you contribute something important. We appreciate your skills and commitment, and we see each individual as a valuable part of our team. With us, you will be offered:
