Vacant job

We are delighted that you are interested in working with us!

Here in western Värmland, among vast lakes and lush forests, there is a strong glow that spreads warmth and lights up. This glow is our vision and guiding star. Today, approximately 2,700 competent employees work at Arvika Municipal Consortium. You are welcome to join us!

We are looking for you who are passionate about LSS (Support and Service Act for Persons with Functional Disabilities) operations and have a strong commitment to working with people with disabilities.

Personal assistance in Arvika Municipality has received new cases, and we are therefore looking for more personal assistants, both permanent and temporary.

Responsibilities

In the role of personal assistant, you are responsible for:

• Helping the user with basic needs, medical care, and support during various activities and at home.
• Having a high degree of sensitivity towards the user, as well as flexibility regarding schedules and workplace.

Working as a personal assistant means assisting another human being with everything that entails. The work does not necessarily involve changing, improving, or choosing for the user. The user should be given the greatest possible freedom to decide for themselves about their life. Sometimes the job simply means being available, ready, and prepared to assist.

Qualifications

To succeed in the role of personal assistant, we see that you have:

• Education in nursing, child and youth care, health and fitness, personal assistance, and/or other education/experience deemed suitable by the employer.
• A genuine interest in working with people, a professional attitude, teamwork skills, attention to detail, responsibility, and the ability to thrive within established frameworks.
• Experience using digital tools such as computers and mobile phones.
• Good knowledge of the Swedish language, both spoken and written.

It is an advantage if you as a personal assistant have:

• Experience working as a personal assistant and/or experience from the disability field through previous work, assignments, or relationships in your vicinity.
• Good physical fitness, as the work involves some transfers (assistive devices are available) and engagement during regular training sessions.
• An interest in physical activities and a desire to encourage others in their development. You should also be interested in your own professional development. Personal suitability is highly valued.

Conditions

We are looking for five people for permanent positions at 75–100%, working days/evenings and weekends. Night work may also occur.

We are also looking for those who wish to work as temporary employees on an hourly basis and/or during the summer.

Please submit your application by 2026-07-31. Selection is ongoing, so do not wait to send in your application!
