Personal Assistant approximately 50% plus extra hours as needed

The position is approximately 50% scheduled, with the possibility of additional hours as needed. The position may also potentially expand in the fall to approximately 70%. Are you a reliable and loyal person who enjoys a varied schedule, with some day shifts and some awake night shifts per month? Do you have some form of experience in care and support, whether from work or private life? Perhaps you're newly trained or a student? Then we think you should read on! It's difficult for me to summarize the role of my personal assistant and everything it entails. This is because personal assistance is personal and based on individual circumstances and needs. At the same time, my life is just as multifaceted as yours when it comes to feelings, interests, and activities. To give you some clues, my interests vary depending on the season. I enjoy everything from swimming in my pool, cooking & running with my marathon wheelchair to museums, concerts, and the gym to give you some hints. Although it's as mentioned difficult to summarize, here's an explanation of who I'm looking for… A position as a personal assistant is varied, but with me you can think that your role roughly consists of these three parts; 1. You help me with all basic needs with great sensitivity to dignity and respect. 2. You are my physical support, which means it's an advantage if you yourself care about your health and enjoy exercising in your free time. 3. You are my motivator in everyday life and together with me and your colleague are responsible for planning activities and following routines. These three parts of your professional role should be characterized by you being kind, empathetic, and communicative because that's how collaboration works best. I myself am approximately 25 years old, my team is young, everyone is approximately 20–30 years old. I want to live as active and social a life as possible, and although I can't run on my feet, I roll in the races I participate in. It's important that you are active and share my interests. I want to live as active a life as possible given my life situation! My life can be described as a roller coaster—some days I have plenty of energy, other days I'm in great need of rest and recreation. My epilepsy is complex and you'll learn everything you need to know during the introduction; it's not a requirement but an asset if you have experience with personal assistance. However, you need to have a good understanding of what your professional role entails. Flexibility is important to be able to adapt the days based on my needs. My assistants always come rested, patient, and give of themselves regardless of what circumstances or obstacles I encounter in everyday life. I'm looking for you who think the same way and don't view me as your patient. I demand high work ethic, which for you as an applicant means you are reliable and treat me, your colleagues, and your profession with respect. You are also calm and understand that your contribution is vital to me; understanding of relationship-building and variation in my life creates the best conditions for both of us. Personal assistance means living a meaningful life with self-determination, which you contribute to through interaction. The role of personal assistant means helping another person live their life, which includes being able to leave your own feelings and opinions outside of work, being interested in learning new ways of communicating, and at the same time understanding that I, just like you, have a range of emotions that vary. I want you to be equally engaged regardless of what I want to do or need. Feel free to share your interests and join in on my positive and cheerful moments! We place great emphasis on personal suitability. Developing a relationship doesn't happen overnight, so I'm looking for you who really wants to do the best for me by getting to know me and understanding that long-term commitment is the key to success. Previous experience is not a requirement even though it's certainly an asset; regardless, understanding of the professional role is what matters most. Being able to work in a structured and organized manner is essential to create security and predictability for me; moreover, I value you as someone who is proactive and can work creatively and motivatingly together with me. Below are some practical conditions for the position: · Start date by agreement, but no later than September. You'll start with an introductory schedule and then be offered your own schedule. I have assistance approved around the clock, but you never work 24-hour shifts, but it's important to know that you are awake during the night. You have good understanding and insight into what it means to reverse your day-night cycle and be able to sleep during the day, so you come refreshed and rested to me regardless of working hours. If you haven't had previous experience with night work, you're of course also welcome to apply, just remember that a night job doesn't mean your day becomes 24 hours. · Work shifts with me can be full days 08.00–20.00, mornings 5–7 hours and afternoons 5–6 hours. The awake night shifts are 12 hours, 20.00–08.00. · The introduction always begins with day shifts with me. This way we get to know each other properly and you learn as much as possible about my life. It's also nice and important that you get to know my other friends (assistants) so that everyone can work together. · Any special requests I want you to specify already in your application, thank you! · Unfortunately, I cannot hire people with pet allergies or tobacco users (including substitutes such as white snus and e-cigarettes). · Fluent Swedish in both speech and writing is a requirement, as is swimming ability. Do you feel that you fit what is expected? Then I think you have a good chance of becoming a friend in my team as long as you are 18 years old. Please note that only complete applications will be considered! Your application should contain the following; 1. Cover letter—tell us among other things why you want to work as a personal assistant and what makes you a suitable candidate 2. CV—updated and complete. A photo of yourself is of course included here. 3. Good references & criminal record extract are required and will be requested!

I politely but firmly decline advertising or applications via recruitment companies.
