About the client

The client is a man in his 60s. He needs your help as an assistant in his daily life due to symptoms from the disease MS. He is highly sensitive to infections, which means that high hygiene standards are crucial – both for you as an assistant and in the home.

You are a person who is happy to take the initiative when needed, but who also has the ability to pause, listen, and be present. You easily put yourself in others' life situations and meet people with respect and empathy.

As an assistant, you need to have a calm demeanor, be able to take the initiative, and have a good sense of order. You have a natural social skill and good patience. You are empathetic and have a fine sense for when it is right to take your own initiatives and when it is best to take a more waiting role.
