As a personal assistant, it is important that you are a good listener and have the ability to adapt to different situations. You show respect for personal integrity in all parts of the work. You should be comfortable with cooking and preferably enjoy preparing meals. You also need to be a non-smoker.

About me: I am a woman in my 30s with a spinal cord injury who needs support in daily life. For me, it is important to have an assistant who is secure, attentive, and respectful, and who can contribute to a functional and positive daily life.

Requirements for the position:

• Are energetic, considerate, and positive
• Are attentive, reliable, and have high integrity

Working hours: The position is 80 % and involves work according to a fixed schedule. The working hours include both day and night shifts. The night shifts include 7 hours of on-call/waiting time. We would appreciate it if you were available for both types of shifts and could work every other weekend.

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.

Staffing: An extended (and compensated) staffing assignment is included in this position, meaning that during certain weeks you must be reachable at times other than working hours to either find a substitute or step in yourself to assist when intervention is required.
