About the assignment

Hello!

Hello, my name is Filip, I am 34 years old, and I live in Kristianstad with good bus connections. I have a physical disability called Spinal Muscular Atrophy type 2. This means that the signals between nerves and muscles are weakened, which means I need help with everything in my daily life, including breathing and transfers. I have double assistance around the clock, which means you will always work together with me and a colleague. This also means that presence, cooperation, and responsibility are crucial in every task. My daily life includes treatments and routines that require high precision and responsibility. This means that as an assistant, you need to be attentive, follow instructions exactly, and understand that small mistakes can have consequences. There is no room for carelessness or lack of interest.

The assignment therefore requires that you, as a personal assistant, can perform manual transfers, personal care, exercise, and structure in my home. My interests are reading books and learning new things; I enjoy discussing with my assistants. I also play chess, which reflects that I enjoy analyzing, thinking strategically, and solving problems. It is good if you appreciate this type of conversation, as it is a larger part of my daily life.

You who apply should have a genuine interest in helping me live my life on my terms. I would like you to be flexible with times, calm and confident in yourself, and meticulous in the work you perform, as this involves responsibility and important routines in my daily life. You will become part of our stable team that works together as a team where we always hold each other's hands and ensure everything works, which makes the relationship between us valuable.
