Vacant job

Do you want an extra job/a part-time position as my personal assistant and friend?

Do you find the profession rewarding and fun? Do you understand that your contribution is crucial for my life to function in the best possible way? Are you a person who has a good understanding of what the job entails and that it also comes with various challenges at times? Do you understand that all people have the right to and want to live their lives to the fullest, despite certain obstacles and difficulties? Can you offer me safe and secure assistance? Are you kind, self-assured, and have a very good work ethic? If you answered yes to these questions, you might be the person we are looking for!

Start date according to agreement. You will begin with an introductory schedule and then be offered a position of about 50 hours/month. All hours are scheduled during the day. Of these, 24 hours will be scheduled as two weekend shifts. Probably one Saturday and one Sunday, 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM. The remaining hours will be scheduled during weekdays.

We hope that you who are applying can also work extra sometimes if the need arises.

It would be great and very desirable if you could also be a summer substitute with us!

Please feel free to include any requests in your application. We can be somewhat flexible with the working hours.

Unfortunately, I cannot hire anyone who is allergic to pets or uses tobacco. This includes substitutes such as white snuff and e-cigarettes.

It is about as difficult for me to briefly summarize this position as I believe it is for you to make a complete presentation of yourself in a letter. This is because the job as someone’s personal assistant is based on the person’s life, and as you hopefully understand, my life is as diverse as yours. Still, I will try to explain who I and my friends/assistants are looking for...

This is what the work shifts look like with me: Full days 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM, morning shifts 5–7 hours, and afternoon shifts 5–6 hours. The wakeful night shifts are 12 hours, 8:00 PM - 8:00 AM. During night shifts, it is very important that you have a good understanding and insight into what this entails. You should easily be able to switch your day/night cycle and be able to sleep during the day to come to me fresh and rested in the evening. I am thus dependent on my assistants around the clock even if you never work night shifts. If you do not have previous experience with night work, you are of course also welcome to apply, just remember that a night job does not mean that your day has 24 hours. Rest, sleep, and recovery are very important when working night shifts.

The introduction always starts with day shifts with me, regardless of what schedule my assistants have. This way, we get to know each other well, and you learn as much as possible about my life. It is also nice and important that you get to know my other friends/assistants. Everyone should be able to collaborate.

You who are applying should be self-sufficient and confident in yourself. You must speak Swedish fluently in both speech and writing, and you are also swimming proficient. We also assume that you can handle regular household chores and can help and support me in my daily life.

It is not a requirement that you have previous experience as a personal assistant, although it is seen as an advantage. Your attitude and understanding of the profession, as well as what it means to be my personal assistant, are the most important. A position as my personal assistant involves, among other things, commitment, self-drive, great patience, a friendly demeanor, flexibility, and good teamwork skills. We place great emphasis on personal suitability. Building a relationship does not happen overnight, so I am looking for someone who truly wants to do their best for me by getting to know me and understands that this is the key to success.

It may sound harsh, but my requirement is that you who are applying are driven and responsible but also come with your own initiatives regardless of my daily condition. It can vary greatly how much I can manage due to my severe epilepsy, and you should therefore be able to take your own initiatives and be flexible when plans need to be changed. My interests also vary a bit depending on the season. In the summer, I love to swim in my pool; it is truly a favorite. I also enjoy everything from cooking & running with my marathon wheelchair to museums, concerts, and the gym to give you some clues.

A position as a personal assistant is varied, but with me, you can think that your role consists of three parts;

1. You help me with all basic needs with great respect for integrity and dignity.

2. You are my physical support, which means it is an advantage if you care about your health and enjoy exercising in your spare time.

3. You are my engine in everyday life and, together with your colleague, are responsible for planning activities and routines.

These three parts of your professional role should be permeated by the fact that you are my friend because that is how the collaboration works best and how I want to be treated. I turned 20 a few years ago. My group of friends is therefore quite young; they are all in their 20s and 30s. My life swings quickly, so my friends always need to be rested, patient, and willing to give of themselves regardless of the conditions I have or obstacles I encounter in everyday life. They are my friends and see me for who I am behind my difficulties, and I want to complement that with you who think similarly and do not see me as your patient. I require a high work ethic, which for you who are applying means that you are reliable and treat me, your colleagues, and your profession with respect. You are also kind and calm and understand that your contribution is vital for me; your understanding of flexibility and variation in my life creates the best conditions for both of us. Finally, and perhaps most importantly; you need to have a very large understanding that my life is different and comes with various challenges.

Do you feel that you match the expectations? Then I believe you have a good chance of becoming a friend in my team. We have a collective agreement. You who are applying must be at least 18 years old, as it is a legal requirement.
