Your Responsibilities

We are looking for a positive and driven person with a strong commitment and interest in people. You have some time to support, help, and socialize with another person for a few hours a week.

Employment Conditions:

Being a contact person is not an employment but a task. As a contact person, you will receive a fee as compensation for the task and a reimbursement to cover expenses for, e.g., coffee and other activities. This is paid out monthly. The fee and reimbursement follow the guidelines of Sweden's municipalities and regions.

Who are you?

You do not need any previous experience in the profession, but it is an advantage if you have an education focused on children, care, and social work or if you have experience working with children or adults with disabilities.
