Vacant job

At Nordström Assistans, we are now looking for you who has your heart in the right place and who wants to support a person's life with special measures.

What does the role entail?

Hello! I am a woman born in 1998 and I am currently looking for more assistants to join my team. Today, I live on a small farm just outside Klippan with my parents, but the plan is for me to move out of my parents' home in the near future. I have severe ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) and autism, and I am looking for someone with a genuine commitment to working with people and who views this assignment as a long-term opportunity. As my assistant, you will find joy in helping and supporting another person in their daily life, and you thrive in a calmer work pace where the focus is on creating quality of life for the person you are working with. My energy levels vary throughout the day, and I am sensitive to sound and light. Therefore, you need to be attentive and responsive to me and my needs. I need help with all aspects of daily life, and I appreciate it when we eat together.

It is important that you are not allergic to or afraid of furry animals, as I have cats at home and meet with a therapy dog every week. I love animals, and they bring me a lot of joy. Experience with my diagnoses and/or personal assistance is an advantage, but the most important thing is that we get along well. I also require that you have a driver's license, are proficient in Swedish both verbally and in writing, and can read without difficulty, as one of the tasks will involve reading aloud. If you have an interest in animals, that is a big plus. It is important to me that you are flexible and adaptable, as well as smoke- and snus-free.

We are looking for someone who can work approximately 50%. The working hours vary, but we would prefer that you can work during the day, evening, and night (with sleeping on-call), both on weekdays and weekends, and we view this position as a long-term role.

We believe that you who apply for this position are a person who is attentive, responsible, flexible, a good team player, cooperative, and has great patience. The most important factor is the personal chemistry between you as the applicant and the client. This may become decisive in the final selection.
