No experience? No problem! For us, it’s important that you have the right attitude and a willingness to help. Many times it’s more about your personal chemistry than previous experience or education. However, it’s essential that you speak and understand Swedish, as many of our assistance recipients require you to interpret for them in their surroundings.

As a personal assistant, the tasks vary depending on who you work with. It can involve everything from helping with meals, supporting with hygiene and dressing, to assisting a person in working, studying, being a parent, or meeting friends. It’s a meaningful job where you make a real difference in someone else’s life!

In addition to doing something important and rewarding, you also have the opportunity to develop, meet new people, and gain experience that you can carry with you in the future. And since the working hours are flexible, it’s perfect for summer job seekers!

GIL has been coordinating personal assistance since 1989. For us, personal assistance is about creating conditions for a person with a disability to live the life they want to live. In many assignments, the assistance recipient is the supervisor themselves, while others have appointed a deputy supervisor. Assignments and roles vary depending on the operation and function.

The GIL office provides support in areas such as management, administration, finance, HR, and training. Together, we contribute to making everyday life work for both assistance recipients and employees within the cooperative.

To attract and retain secure and engaged employees, GIL invests in training and joint activities.
