• Hours: The schedule offers long shifts 08:00 - 23:30 (Fri, Sat 08:00-24:00).

About me

I am a woman aged 55+ living with my partner in a small community called Norra Unnaryd, located approx. 40 km outside of Jönköping. My disability means I need your arms and legs in various situations, but I lead my own assistance. I use a wheelchair due to a muscle disease and need help with, among other things, personal care, cooking, and household chores.

A day with me can range from a quiet day at home with various tasks, both indoors and outdoors, to an active outing – perhaps shopping at Gekås in Ullared. I enjoy baking, cooking, going to restaurants, ice hockey, etc., as well as spending time with family and friends.

To ensure we get along, I believe you are:

• A woman with personal maturity.
• Reliable, meticulous, and perceptive.
• Someone who enjoys working with people and can read and adapt to my needs.

Important to know:

• You must be a non-smoker and comfortable around animals with fur.
• You must be proficient in Swedish, both spoken and written.
• You need a driver's license and access to your own car to commute to and from work (during work hours, you will drive my wheelchair-adapted car).
• Assistive devices are available in the home.
• Good physical fitness is required as we often take long walks.

Due to the nature of the work, I am only seeking female assistants.

Does this sound like something for you? Get in touch – I look forward to your application.

Selection and interviews will take place on an ongoing basis.

If you have any questions, you can call or email my work leader
