Vacant job

Are you my new personal assistant?

I am a woman in my 60s living on a small farm outside Hörby with two horses, a dog, and a cat.

I use an electric wheelchair and have assistance during all waking hours. Much of my time is dedicated to the animals and practical tasks around the house, both indoors and outdoors.

Sometimes I dress up and drive into town. As my assistant, you will naturally accompany me there as well.

I need help with various practical tasks. My assistants help with both big and small matters, ranging from daily chores like cleaning, dishwashing, and laundry, to shower assistance, dressing, and cooking. It also involves ensuring the animals get what they need and accompanying me to everything from important meetings to coffee breaks or other fun activities.

The ideal candidate should be flexible and understand that you are my arms and legs where I cannot be. Sometimes it is as simple as helping adjust uncomfortable clothing, and other times it requires helping me mount a horse. The work can be quite physical at times, so it is important that you are in good physical shape to join me on long dog walks, horse rides, and other activities associated with country life.

Personal chemistry is crucial

I am looking for someone who:

• is at least 18 years old
• has experience with horses, preferably with driving experience, but above all the ability to handle horses
• is in good physical condition, can walk the dog for long periods, and can handle certain lifts
• has a driver's license (BE license is a plus)
• can work flexibly, as schedules may need to change depending on the situation
• is a non-smoker and does not use perfume while working

I am currently looking for temporary replacements.

Working hours vary, including day shifts and evening shifts (late evenings), on weekdays and weekends.

The application should include a cover letter where you also describe your horse experience.
