Who will you be working with?

Matilda is a lively, cheerful, and social 20-year-old girl living in Kullavik. We are now looking for someone to work as a personal assistant for Matilda approximately 3 shifts a week. This position is well-suited for someone looking for a part-time job to combine with studies or other work. Matilda works at a daily activity center in Kungsbacka from Monday to Friday, which means that shifts are primarily scheduled for afternoons and weekends, but early mornings and evenings may also occur. During an afternoon shift, you will meet Matilda to accompany her in the taxi home to continue working at home. On weekday afternoons, Matilda enjoys relaxing at home in Kullavik, having coffee, listening to music, and playing. On weekends, Matilda likes to go to gymnastics or take trips to places like the Maritime Museum or Universeum, Frölunda Torg, or jump around at JumpYard. Matilda is a charming girl with an interest in music, mobile phones, and languages. She also enjoys swimming, Star Wars, and animals. Matilda has a rare diagnosis called Cri du chat, which in her case means an intellectual disability and entails special support needs in daily life and activities.

Scope of the position

The schedule is planned together, so some flexibility regarding times and weekdays can be accommodated. Matilda stays with her parents every other week. The shifts are primarily scheduled between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM from Monday to Wednesday, as well as one shift on the weekend lasting 3–4 hours.

Who are you applying?
