Personal Care Assistant Substitute – Sporty Retired Male in Skarpnäck Are you a calm and empathetic person who wants to make a difference in someone's life? We are now seeking a substitute to support a retired male in Skarpnäck who is living with the effects of a stroke and vascular dementia.

The user has good hearing but is sensitive to noise, which means a calm and careful tone is crucial in communication. We are looking for someone in their 40s or older, with good Swedish in both speech and writing, and who is calm, patient, and warm in your interaction with people. You should be attentive and able to read situations to know when to be more active and when to stay in the background.
