Personal Assistant Wanted

I am a 37-year-old guy living in Täby, but I plan to move to Åkersberga. I am now looking for assistants of a similar age who want to work with me as my personal assistant. Some of my interests include visiting various museums, going to the movies, concerts, music, genealogy, and history.

I am also very interested in hockey, and AIK is the team closest to my heart. It would be great if you also like hockey and maybe even AIK, but if you prefer another team, that is of course fine.

I use a wheelchair and need help with eating, drinking, dressing and undressing, showering, and toilet needs, in other words, pretty much everything. I have assistance to be able to live, and I enjoy going out and doing things, preferably outside the home. I understand everything but cannot speak verbally myself. When I communicate, I use body language and a letter board to express what I want. I am currently training to use a new communication aid that is eye-controlled.

I have a severe CP injury since birth, I am spastic in my muscles, and I have epilepsy. I can have mild seizures from time to time that drain my strength and energy, but they always pass on their own.

It can be a bit frustrating not to always be understood, so it is good if you have enough patience for both of us. I am a guy with a lot of humor, so I would like you to be someone who laughs easily and is a positive person.

I would like you to be good at coming up with your own initiatives and suggestions for fun activities we can do during the day. You should be creative but also have a great understanding that it can vary from day to day depending on my condition, what I can do, and what I want.

Sometimes I have a little West Highland White Terrier that I take care of for my sister, so you cannot be allergic to dogs. I enjoy swimming, so it would be fitting if you also like that and are not allergic to chlorine. I enjoy playing games because I can roll the dice myself, which feels great.

In the summer, I sometimes stay at my summer house in Riala, and due to poor public transport to get there, it is good if you have a driver's license and access to a car, but it is not a requirement to apply.

When Do You Need to Be Available?

You will work 24-hour shifts from 8:00 AM to 8:00 AM, including on-call duty. I hope you can start your introduction soon.

I am looking for both those who want to work on a fixed part-time schedule and those who want to work weekends.

I do not require previous experience in similar work; personal suitability is what is valued the most. I prefer male applicants, but women are also welcome.

Employment Conditions

Hourly wage. Employment conditions, overtime compensation, pension, and more are regulated according to the applicable collective agreement.

Recruitment is ongoing. Welcome with your application!
