Vacant job

At NÄRA, we have been working with personal assistance since 1995. We want our customers to experience quality in their assistance. Quality is not the same for everyone – we appreciate different things, have different dreams, and above all, different ways of wanting to live our lives. Personal assistance at NÄRA is therefore performed with respect for the individual's self-determination.

Hello! I am a woman looking for a new assistant for daytime shifts, three days a week. This is a permanent position on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, from 12:00 to 16:30. I also see that you can step in as a substitute when needed.

I have a cerebral palsy (CP) injury, but it does not affect my head. I use an electric wheelchair and am fully cognitively able. I have speech difficulties, but not so severe that I need assistive devices. You will learn to listen carefully once you get to know me.

My assistance needs include help with tasks I cannot do myself, such as cooking, grocery shopping, cleaning, laundry, dressing, feeding, and transferring between electric wheelchairs. This is not overly demanding as I can stand on my legs.

I have two cats that also need care, so you must like animals and not have a fur allergy.

I also have allergies to dust mites, dust, asthma-related issues, and high sensitivity to pollen. Therefore, you must be neutral and avoid strong scents.

You should be calm by nature, but also cheerful, easy to laugh, and have a sense of humor, as do I. You must be stress-resistant, perceptive, and capable of working independently.

My interests include dancing, walking, shopping, and more.

I would appreciate it if you have some experience in the assistance profession. I have had three male assistants working for me for many years, but this does not mean you need to be male. You can be a light-hearted, cheerful woman who speaks fluent Swedish.

Salary according to collective agreement.

A certificate of good conduct (extract from the criminal record) is required.

I hope this advertisement gives you an idea of the position.

Best regards,
Anita Myyryläinen
