Man in Sköndal seeks daytime assistants

I am a 44-year-old man currently looking for assistants for daytime work.

I have a muscle disease and am essentially paralyzed, but I have sensation. I need your help with, among other things, transfers, toilet visits, hygiene, medication, and tube feeding, as well as everything else that life entails.

I live in Sköndal / Stockholm, and I hope you live nearby or have convenient travel routes to and from work with me.

You may have knowledge or experience of what personal assistance is and a little about how it is intended to work. That’s good, but not a requirement. However, it is important to me that you speak and understand Swedish fluently, and I place great importance on personal suitability.

I will be your supervisor, and with mutual respect and honesty, I believe we can go far together. I work from home and am generally interested in society. Other interests include film, music (metal), and sports…especially football.

You need to be healthy and strong as I need help with transfers. A floor lift is available in the home, and you will help me with everything in my daily life as I borrow your arms and legs.

If you are interested, please write and tell me about yourself, who you are, and what your plans in life are.

If you seem to be the one I am looking for, I will ask you to provide a copy of your criminal record from the police and two references from previous work or assignments. So please prepare for that.

Recruitment is ongoing.
