Vacant job

Hello!

I am a working woman seeking a driven female assistant to support me with practical daily tasks.

I am currently recruiting at least one assistant, either part-time or full-time. Could you be the person I’m looking for? Prior experience is not required; the most important factors are the right attitude and good chemistry between us.

Who will you have chemistry with?

I have a physical disability and need help with practical daily tasks such as shopping, cooking, housekeeping, and fine motor activities. 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, which I do both for work and privately. The pace of work varies according to my need for assistance, 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 get the hang of it, 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 at short notice.

I live in Lund but work in Malmö, meaning 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 roughly the same age as me. You have a great sense of humor, are thick-skinned, and take initiative. Previous experience as a personal assistant is not a requirement. The most important thing is that our chemistry is right; the rest you will learn if you have the interest.

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

From experience, I know 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 chores, and know, for example, not to put curry in tacos or put frying pans in the dishwasher. I am ambulatory 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 ground – both short and long 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 please submit your application today! If you are called for an interview, you must bring an unopened extract from the Swedish Criminal Record Register. 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 working some weekend shifts per month. Please note that the start date is in mid-August.

Recruiting is a tiring process for me, so I hope you intend 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!
