Vacant job

You contribute to a person having the opportunity to live according to their wishes, to do what they need, visit the places they desire, and be with the people they love.

At Hela Sveriges Assistans, we maintain a high professional level and great personal commitment. We care that you, in your role as a personal assistant, will thrive and be able to work under secure conditions with good terms.

The Role of Personal Assistant

As a personal assistant, you represent Hela Sveriges Assistans. In this role, you will complete a web-based training on what it is like to work as a personal assistant. Together with the client and your colleagues, you will strive for high quality and adhere to the company's values and policies.

As a personal assistant, you are responsible for reviewing information sent from the head office, and as needed, searching for information available on the website. For other matters, you contact your supervisor or the head office.

About Your Role as a Personal Assistant with Me

I am a woman in her 60s living in an apartment in central Malmö. I use an electric wheelchair due to a muscle disease and need help in daily life with ADL (Activities of Daily Living) and all household chores such as laundry, cleaning, etc. I can do some things myself, but this varies depending on my daily condition – you help with the rest.

It is important that you are sensitive, responsible, and unpretentious, and that you want to see and understand my needs. You work proactively, and we help each other maintain an overview of daily life. Communication is key; a positive mindset and humor are also highly valued.

I have a dog, and dog life is a big part of my daily routine. It is important that you are interested and willing to learn. We take courses, train, and go on long dog walks. Extra points if you have prior experience with dogs, but otherwise, I will teach you.

You must have a driver's license and driving experience. I have a car, a regular bicycle, and a cargo bike that you should be able to handle.

The application must include a complete CV and a cover letter. Before an employment offer is made, you must show an extract from the police criminal record.

Where is the assistance provided?

The assistance is provided wherever I am, and your shift starts and ends where I am – at home or out in the city.

Description of the Position

1 position, scheduled for 80–100%

The position involves varying working hours during the day/evening, weekends, and awake nights.

We are also looking for hourly employees and summer substitutes.

Requirements

• Category B driver's license
• Ability to cycle
• Fluency in Swedish (spoken and written)
• Not allergic to dogs (as there is a dog at the workplace)
• Experience working as a personal assistant

Merits

We prefer that you have at least 2 years of experience as a personal assistant. Dog experience is preferred as there is an assistance dog. Experience working with ventilators and cough assist devices is also a plus.

Before we offer employment, you must show an unopened extract/digital mailbox extract from the police criminal record. We also require a valid Swedish work permit, for example, a passport or an approved work permit from the Swedish Migration Agency.

We train our employees to ensure the quality of personal assistance. All our new employees complete a web-based introductory training for personal assistants before their first work shift, or no later than one month after the start of employment.

As a personal assistant at Hela Sveriges Assistans AB, you are covered by the Almega/Healthcare Employers' collective agreement, which includes agreed pension, education, and favorable wellness benefits.

We do not accept applications via email. Please apply via the link or on the career page.
