Vacant job

I am a 48-year-old woman living in central Stockholm. I lead a social and active life and am now looking for one or more personal assistants who want to accompany me in my daily life. I use a manual wheelchair, which you will help me operate, and I have significant visual impairment. I communicate independently but need your assistance to navigate more easily – therefore, it is important that you can use GPS or maps to find the right way. You and I will do a lot together – from errands and coffee with friends to trips within Sweden and abroad (planned well in advance). This job does not involve care or medical assistance, but rather support for an active daily life. The position is service-oriented – I do not require any medical care.

I believe the right candidate is:

• A woman aged approximately 20–45
• Cheerful, responsible, and enjoys when things happen
• Solution-oriented and not afraid to take action when the situation demands it
• Fluent in Swedish, both spoken and written
• Basic computer skills
• Enjoys a social and active job

You do not need previous experience – chemistry and collaboration are the most important. The position is part-time and is suitable for someone studying or working part-time. We will agree on working hours together and create a schedule that works for both of us. Your workplace is wherever I am. Assistance is provided around the clock and includes sleeping on-call. Due to the nature of the tasks, the position is only open to female applicants. Only fully vaccinated individuals (at least two doses) will be invited for an interview.

Apply by emailing your CV and cover letter to: [email protected]. Also, indicate which shifts you can work, e.g., day, evening, night, weekend, and do not forget your contact information.

The employment is through STIL and you will be covered by the Fremia–Kommunal collective agreement.

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 themselves. 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).
