What does a personal assistant do?

Working as a personal assistant is a varied and rewarding profession, where you provide support to another person in their daily life and everything that comes with it. Tasks include personal care, household chores, cooking, and accompanying clients to various activities. Your workplace is wherever the client is – at home, at work/school, or during leisure activities. The needs and daily life of the client dictate your workday and tasks.

Who are we looking for?

Our clients are children, young people, and adults with various disabilities and needs – each with a unique daily life. Therefore, we are looking for individuals who reflect our diversity in terms of age, gender, experience, skills, and personality for all our different assignments.

To thrive in a role as a personal assistant, we believe you are a reliable and stable person who takes responsibility. You inspire trust and are accustomed to working independently. You are attentive to your surroundings and adapt to different situations you encounter.

Training or experience in healthcare, social care, or social work is advantageous, but the greatest emphasis will be placed on personal suitability for the specific assignment. Good knowledge of Swedish is a requirement for communication and documentation. You must also be at least 18 years old on your first day of employment to work with us.
