Vacant job

I am a 43-year-old woman living in my own apartment in central Uppsala. I am now looking for an experienced personal assistant. I lead a social life and enjoy spending time with family and friends. Due to my autism, I need support in daily life to gain structure and to be able to live an independent and fulfilling life. As my assistant, you will be an important support in planning, daily routines, and in taking care of both myself and my home.

In my spare time, I appreciate activities such as horse riding, bowling, swimming, and walking. I also enjoy being creative by cooking, baking, painting, and crafting.

About you:

You are a woman and preferably have experience in personal assistance. If you also have knowledge about autism or similar functional variations, it is a plus, but personal chemistry and the right attitude weigh the heaviest. You are a calm and stable person who is responsive and empathetic. You have a pedagogical approach, take initiative, and have patience in your work. You are also curious, flexible, and enjoy coming up with new activities. Experience with low-affective handling and managing challenging behavior is meritorious but not a requirement.

The position:

The position is approximately 75%. The work is primarily scheduled during daytime on weekdays, but there may also be work in the evenings, on weekends, and at night (including sleeping on-call duty). To be employed, you must present a valid ID, a certificate of good conduct (police record), and any documents proving your right to work in Sweden.
