About the job

• Employment: Temporary position (when regular assistants are unable to work)
• Schedule: The schedule offers long shifts from 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 about 40 km outside of Jönköping. My disability means I need your arms and legs in various situations, but I manage my own assistance. I use a wheelchair due to a muscle disease and need help with personal care, cooking, and household chores.

A day with me can range from a quiet day at home with various indoor and outdoor tasks to an active outing – perhaps shopping at Gekås in Ullared. I enjoy baking, cooking, dining out, ice hockey, and spending time with family and friends.

I believe you are:

• A woman with personal maturity.
• Reliable, thorough, 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 pets.
• You must be fluent 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 adapted vehicle).
• 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 receiving your application.

Selection and interviews will be conducted on a rolling basis.

For questions, you can call or email my work coordinator

STIL stands for The Foundation for Independent Living in Sweden.

We are a non-profit assistance cooperative and a voluntary association of people with non-normative disabilities. In STIL, the members themselves manage their personal assistants. We work for self-determination, freedom, and equal opportunities regardless of functional ability. STIL was founded in 1984, and we were involved in introducing personal assistance in Sweden.
