Personal assistant to an engaged and goal-oriented client — unpretentious and secure
We are looking for a warm, present, and unpretentious personal assistant for an adult client (40 years old) who, following a serious stroke in 2023, has a newly acquired physical disability but retained cognitive abilities. The client is actively engaged in rehabilitation and wants to continue living a rich and meaningful life — she values self-determination, integrity, and participation highly. You will be a trusted presence who assists with personal care, mobility, help with home activities, communication support in rehabilitation work, and coordination during visits from loved ones, including her daughter who visits occasionally.
The client has some function in one hand, neck, and some function in all limbs, and needs support in many daily tasks — from dressing and undressing, positioning and transfers to cooking, hygiene, supervision, and practical arrangements.
Beyond basic care tasks, we are looking for someone who can be proactive and engage with the client's interests — culture, gardening/allotments, social issues, and activities in the local area. Communication and patience are crucial — the client needs a humble person who listens, can interpret needs, and at the same time take own initiative when the situation requires it.
Experience in personal assistance or similar care work is a merit, but most important is personal chemistry, empathy, and respect for self-determination. We would very much like you to have very good Swedish language skills to be the client's linguistic interpreter and source of security.
If you share an interest in culture, gardening, or social issues, it's a plus, but not a requirement — what matters most is that you are present, responsible, patient, and able to build trust.
Personal qualities
Empathetic, attentive, and calm in interactions with others.
Responsible, punctual, and reliable.
Flexible and proactive — dares to suggest activities and solutions that promote the client's recovery.
Respect for self-determination and integrity.
Good stress tolerance and patience in situations that can be emotionally demanding.
We place great emphasis on personal suitability and chemistry.
Please include references and, if possible, a current criminal record check.
Work hours: daytime, evenings, nights (sleeping shifts), and weekends. Works well to combine with studies or other part-time work.
Employment: The position is an hourly position that can lead to the possibility of fixed shifts on schedule if everything works well and feels good for all parties. A criminal record check is required to be considered for employment. There are full-time, part-time, and hourly positions available.
Training/introduction will be provided on-site. Monument Assistans is available for support and further training.
We would appreciate it if you send in a video-recorded CV and personal letter, but this is not a requirement.
