Vacant job

I am a woman over 40, living with my two four-legged friends (dogs, that is – they are the bosses here at home).

About you (and a bit about the job):
I am fully capable of making my own decisions, speaking, thinking, and planning my life – unless I specifically ask you for help. So, if you see personal assistance as something care-related where you need to 'take care of' me… then we might not be a match made in heaven.
I see this as a service profession. No fancy qualifications are required – what matters is that you are comfortable 'sitting in the back seat', able to take it easy without being slow, and willing to learn. You will, of course, receive proper training so that both you and I feel secure.

You will fit in perfectly if you:

• Have a driver's license and are used to driving (GPS-friendly, but not a GPS slave).
• Are confident, flexible, and have a nice sense of privacy. You understand when it’s time to step back and when it’s time to step up.
• Are genuinely dog-friendly – meaning: can read dogs' body language, not just thrown sticks to the neighbor's lab. You will help with both care and long walks. Do you have your own pets? Then you need a network that can take care of them during your shifts – my animals get all the attention here.
• Are comfortable with all types of household work – from scrubbing floors to helping me with more personal tasks.
• Speak and understand fluent Swedish – both written and spoken. I communicate best this way.
• Are a non-smoker. Smokers need not apply (even though the world is not always smoke-free).
• Have good physical health – back, neck, knees, and shoulders should be able to handle long walks and some physical tasks.
• Are scent-discreet – I get migraines from strong perfumes, so leave that vanilla splash at home.

And yes – there will be a bit of adventure! Travel may come up – both shorter trips, weekend getaways, and sometimes longer trips abroad.

Sounds fun?
Then I want to know more about you! Write a personal letter telling me about yourself – preferably with a twinkle in your eye – based on what you’ve read here. I care more about who you are than what you have done before.

Working hours: The schedule rolls over four weeks, mostly day shifts – both weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Employment rate 75% + on-call. Start at the turn of the year January 2026.

Ready to become an important part of my (and the dogs') life? We look forward to hearing from you – with wagging tails!

STIL stands for the Founders of Independent Living in Sweden. We are a non-profit assistance cooperative and a non-profit association of people with norm-breaking functionality. In STIL, it is the members who 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).
