Vacant job

My current team leader is moving on, and therefore I am looking for a new pillar of support in my personal assistance.

About me:

I am a 28-year-old man living in my own apartment in Upplands-Bro. I lead an active life and enjoy finding fun things to do. Film and music are major interests, and I love going to concerts or playing bowling. I need support with household chores, and it would be great if you also enjoy cooking, as I appreciate good food. Continuity is very important to me; it takes time to get to know each other and build a good relationship. Therefore, I would prefer someone with a long-term perspective who plans to stay in my team for a while.

About you:

To ensure we get along well, I believe you are a secure, mature, and responsible person with humor and warmth. You like structure but are also flexible and handle multiple tasks easily. Having a solution-oriented mindset is crucial for this role. Sometimes you need to support me in making thoughtful decisions and be attentive to details in my daily life. You enjoy participating in activities and want to contribute to my ability to live life to the fullest. You see opportunities rather than obstacles, and if you have an adventurous side, that’s a big plus – I want to experience fun things!

It is important for my communication that you speak and write Swedish fluently. You are a crucial support in everything I do, and your presence means a lot to my independence and sense of security.

The Position:

The position is 60–75% with varied working hours, including days, evenings, nights (with on-call duty), and weekends on a rotating schedule.
