Vacant job

We are looking for someone interested in working as a personal assistant for a wheelchair-bound woman in her 60s with MS. She lives in Västerfärnebo with her cats. In the role of assistant, you will make a difference in her life and have the chance to help a person live a life on the same terms as others, as far as possible.

The job includes everything from personal care, intimate hygiene, transfers, use of various aids, motor training, assistance with activities, etc. The workplace is in her home and wherever she is. Working hours are scheduled both during the day and in the evening, Monday to Sunday. We would also like you to be able to work with short notice if needed, due to illness or similar circumstances.

As you will be part of a team of personal assistants selected for your client, it is important to have a good work ethic where everyone supports each other and can work with short notice if needed, due to illness or similar circumstances. We also expect you to be available during the summer and holiday periods.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We prefer that you who apply for the position have a flexible and independent work style and can easily adapt to new situations. You must be able to take responsibility as you work based on the individual’s needs. You should have good documentation skills and maintain a professional attitude. You should have a genuine interest and feeling for caring for people.

Other qualities that are beneficial for the job include a good sense of humor, calmness, patience, and being responsible. You must be able to speak fluent Swedish as this is a job where good communication is very important. It is a significant merit if you have experience working in personal assistance.

Since we care about our clients' safety and security, we have a routine of obtaining extracts from the criminal record for all persons employed by the company. This means that upon employment, we will request a record extract from you before you can start working.
