Vacant job

Hello!

I am a working woman looking for a driven female assistant who can support me with practical tasks in everyday life.

I am currently recruiting at least one assistant, either part-time or full-time. Could you be the person I am looking for? Previous experience is not required; the most important thing is that you have the right attitude and that our chemistry matches.

Who will you be working with?

I have a physical disability and need help with practical daily tasks such as shopping, cooking, household chores, and fine motor skills. You will be working with me, a soon-to-be 30-year-old woman who, despite a disability, lives a fairly normal life with a job, friends, and family – albeit with a slightly darker sense of humor than average.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, but also relaxing, exercising, reading, and watching TV. As an assistant, you may be asked to accompany me on trips, both for work and leisure. The pace of work varies depending on my need for help, my energy levels, and my daily routine. Therefore, it is important that you are attuned to my needs, but also comfortable taking a more observant role. Once you are settled, you will see what needs to be done without me having to say anything. I live in a changing world, so it is important that you can adapt and step up with short notice.

I live in Lund but work in Malmö, which means your workday may start in one city and end in the other, depending on your schedule.

About you

To "fit in," you are a woman of approximately the same age as me. You have a great sense of humor, are resilient, and take initiative. There is no requirement for previous experience as a personal assistant. The most important thing is that our chemistry matches; the rest you will learn as long as you are interested.

A few absolute requirements are that you write and speak Swedish fluently, you are comfortable around cats, and you are a non-smoker.

From experience, I know that you should live within a reasonable commuting distance to Lund/Malmö. You don't need to be a MasterChef, but you should have basic knowledge of cooking and household management (for example, knowing not to put curry in tacos or a frying pan in the dishwasher). I am able to walk but use an electric wheelchair to get from A to B, so you need to be able to cycle at 15 km/h on flat terrain – both long and short distances – to keep up. It is a strong preference that you have a B-driver's license and can drive an automatic car.

Due to the nature of my work, you must be a Swedish citizen.

Recruitment is ongoing, so send in your application today! If you are called for an interview, you must bring an unopened extract from the Swedish Police Authority's register of convictions. You can order the extract here: https://polisen.se/tjanster-tillstand/belastningsregistret/ (https://polisen.se/tjanster-tillstand/belastningsregistret/).

I am open to discussing the percentage of employment. The position includes some weekend shifts per month and will primarily be a temporary position (substitute) as one of my assistants is on study leave. It is likely that this will convert into a permanent position in the long run. Please note that the start date is in mid-August.

Recruiting is a stressful process for me, so I am looking for someone who intends to stay for a longer period – at least one year, preferably longer.

My assistants are employed by "Assistans i Balans," which means close communication with a Personal Coordinator, a thorough and clear introduction that we start immediately, personal supervision, as well as training and further education. You will receive the support you need to feel secure and professional in your role as my personal assistant.

Development opportunities exist for the right person!

Apply now. I look forward to meeting you!
