We are now looking for personal assistants who want to work for our client in Roma on Gotland. The assignment concerns a woman in her 70s who lives with her husband. The woman has Parkinson's disease, uses a wheelchair, and has communication difficulties. Assistive devices are available on site. As a personal assistant, you help contribute to a secure, meaningful, and functional daily life. The work involves being a support in both daily routines and in the things that make life more enjoyable.

Job Responsibilities

As a personal assistant, you are a support based on the individual's needs and wishes. The tasks may include, for example:

• Help with personal care
• Support with household chores
• Accompanying to activities, errands, or leisure interests
• Being a social and secure companion in everyday life

The work takes place where the user is located – at home or at activities outside the home.

The working hours are 9 AM – 5 PM and 5 PM – 10 PM, both weekdays and weekends. We therefore appreciate that you are flexible and available for these working hours. You should be able to start immediately.

• You have good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written
• You have a driver's license and access to a car, or live close by and can commute by bus
