Vacant job

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

About me (written in the first person):

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 enjoy 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 that. Continuity is very important to me, and 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 with my team for a while.

About you:

For us to 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 good at handling multiple things at once. Having a solution-oriented mindset is essential for the 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 is an extra plus, as I want to experience fun things!

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