Description

My name is Josefin, I am 38 years old and live in my own apartment in central Kristianstad.

I am now looking for personal assistants who can work as hourly substitutes for me.

I have a physical disability due to a CP injury, I am blind in one eye, and I communicate using sign language as I do not have speech. I need your help in ADL situations, with physical transfers, and with structure in my daily life. The job also includes helping me with household chores and other tasks that I cannot manage on my own. I can walk indoors but need a wheelchair outdoors.

In addition, I enjoy going to town and window shopping, having coffee, or just watching people pass by. I like clothes and jewelry, as well as painting my nails and fixing my hair. I enjoy cooking and baking. When time and weather permit, I like to go on excursions in the surroundings. Sometimes I want to be active and do a lot of things, but sometimes I need to pause and relax at home to recharge my energy.

You who are applying should be a positive woman, between 25 and 50 years old, who sees opportunities in the situations that arise and who feels good about being helpful. Patience and attentiveness are of great importance, and you should have respect for integrity and human dignity. It is important that you take your work with me very seriously, as it is with your help that I will have the opportunity to live my life much like everyone else. If you also have a good sense of humor and a twinkle in your eye, it can be really great.

I am really looking forward to reading your application, and I would appreciate it if you write personally as I find it pleasant to read and it helps me get a clearer picture of you as an applicant. If possible, please also include a picture in your application. This job is perfect for you who are studying.

I value experience in similar work and education in the field, but most importantly is your personality and that we “click”. If you can sign, are smoke-free, and have good patience, that is an additional plus.

Kooperativet Lila is one of Sweden's first assistance organizations. Our goal and vision are to provide our members with the assistance they desire while offering our employed personal assistants the best conditions in their employment.

Over our 30 years, the organization has developed alongside the reform that granted us personal assistance in Sweden. Some of our members have, through their political engagement at the national level, influenced the legislation that gives people with disabilities the right to self-determination.
