With us, you have the opportunity to add value to people's lives and work based on our vision – Everyone deserves a good life.

As a casual employee with us, you are an important part of the operation and contribute to security and continuity for our customers when regular staff is absent.

About the role

In the role of personal assistant, you help the customer with whatever arises in their daily life. Personal assistance is a service according to the LSS Act (Act on Support and Service for Certain Functionally Impaired Persons). Every customer is unique, and the tasks vary based on individual needs.

The work may, for example, involve help with mobility, personal care, training, communication, as well as daily chores and activities in and outside the home. You respect the customer's self-determination and integrity and contribute to making daily life function in a safe and smooth way.

To thrive as a personal assistant, it is important that there is good personal chemistry between you and the customer. Since every assistance situation is unique, we will learn more about you during the recruitment process to create the best possible match.

At Humana, it is important that both you as an assistant and the customer feel secure in the collaboration. Therefore, all new assistants receive a tailored introduction, both to the professional role and to the specific customer you will be working with.

Who are you?

We are looking for you who are good at building good relationships, have a high level of commitment, want to take responsibility, and adapt easily to new situations. Since all our customers have different needs and wishes, we ask you to answer the selection questions as clearly and thoroughly as possible – this increases the chance that we can match you with the right assignment.

We are now looking for you who meet the following criteria:

• have a manual Class B driver's license

• have good knowledge of Swedish and are very clear in your communication

• are non-smoking during working hours

• are flexible enough to step in when regular staff is absent

The following qualifications are also meritorious:
