Vacant job

I am a cheerful, positive, and spirited 70-year-old looking for a personal assistant. My arms do not function, so I need help with all tasks involving arm movement. I cannot walk and use an electric wheelchair. I also have hearing difficulties and wear a hearing aid.

I am looking for someone who wants a part-time job. I will be staying in my house in Katthammarsvik from May to August. We will decide together how you should work, but preferably on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays between 08:00 and 14:00. You should not have any issues with shoulders, back, or neck. Since I have hearing difficulties, you need to have clear pronunciation and good spoken Swedish. A lift is available, and you will receive an introduction from an experienced assistant.

Working Hours

Friday – Sunday, 08:00 – 14:00

About the Assistant

• Experience in caring for other people.
• Be attentive and adaptable in your actions.
• Clear pronunciation so I can hear you, as I have reduced hearing.

Activities

Tasks include chess, hygiene, help with dressing, toilet assistance, PEG tube care, breakfast preparation, etc. All assistance takes place in my home.
