Vacant job

Sanda Assistans was founded in Sandared by our CEO Betty Olsson. We have grown a bit over the years, but our heart remains in the right place. The foundation of our vision is that "everyone is equally different and different equally," and therefore the right matching of assistants is required. We are looking for someone who wants to make a difference in another person's daily life.

As a person, you are responsible, honest, and solution-oriented. The assignment requires you to be service-minded and flexible, as well as having the ability to meet the customer in a good way. With us at Sanda Assistans, you get the chance to truly help others and create a meaningful everyday life for people in need of support. We believe that well-being and a good working environment create the best conditions for everyone. Therefore, we constantly work to ensure that you have a positive work environment where you can feel proud of your job and your contributions. Of course, we have collective agreements, etc.

We are looking for a balanced, positive, and caring personal assistant for a young adult girl in Sollentuna (Stockholm). She lives with PANS/PANDAS – an autoimmune disease that means she has complex symptoms affecting both physical and mental well-being, which can worsen during infections. Her condition varies, and during flare-ups, she needs more support and presence in her daily life. She can become outwardly aggressive and loud and needs support to calm down. It is important that you, as an applicant, are not frightened by such behavior and are strong enough to prevent her from harming herself.

You are a secure person with patience, empathy, and a positive attitude – someone who sees solutions rather than obstacles. You can handle both calm and more challenging days with warmth and stability. You will be an important part of creating structure, safety, and quality of life. She enjoys horses, clothes, movies, and music – especially Taylor Swift.

About the assignment
The work involves being close, listening, and adapting to her daily condition. This may include:

• Personal care and hygiene
• Support during meals, medication, and rest
• Help in creating routines and structure
• Light household chores
• Walks, errands, and activities
• Being a present and empathetic companion

You need to be smoke-free, meticulous about hygiene, and considerate in case of illness, as she is sensitive to infections.

We are looking for someone who:

• Is a woman or man aged 27–50 years
• Is strong as a person
• Is balanced, secure, empathetic, and solution-oriented
• Has an understanding of varying daily conditions and flare-ups
• Has good collaboration skills but can work independently
• Speaks and writes fluent Swedish
• Ideally has similar interests (e.g., animals, nature, music, clothes, and movies)
• A driving license and car are a plus

Previous experience in personal assistance is an advantage, but the most important thing is that you enjoy each other's company. Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability. Welcome with your application – you can make a difference!
