Vacant job

Do you want a summer job where you can make a real difference to another person’s life – while working in one of Sweden’s most beautiful environments?

I am an active, working woman who spends the summer in our summer house on Österlen together with my husband. I am now looking for a female personal assistant who wants to become an important part of my daily life during the summer.

Here you will have a job that combines responsibility, independence, and close collaboration in a calm and pleasant environment near the sea and nature.

• Personal care and dressing
• Mobility assistance
• Everyday practical support
• Light household chores

The work involves being active at times and being on standby when needs arise. Therefore, it is important that you are attentive, responsible, and comfortable working closely with another person.

What we offer

• A meaningful and varied summer job
• Work in a calm and natural environment on Österlen
• Day shifts only – no night shifts
• Introduction and support to ensure you feel secure in the role
• Opportunity for continued employment after the summer

• Is female
• Is secure, responsible, and reliable
• Has good collaboration skills
• Can work independently when needed
• Has a respectful and professional attitude
