Personal Assistant Wanted in Västerås!

We are looking for you who want to take on an important assignment – to be a personal support in daily life for a woman in her 70s living with MS in Västerås.

This is a role where presence, sensitivity, and responsibility are crucial. You will work closely with her and adapt the support to her needs, daily condition, and wishes. As a personal assistant, you become part of a small circle around her, where continuity and trust are key. Your efforts enable her to live life on her own terms and maintain as much independence as possible.

The work includes everything from care, insulin delegation (to be completed upon employment), intimate hygiene, transfers, use of various aids, assistance with activities, etc. The workplace is in her home and wherever she is. Working hours are both daytime and evening, mostly evenings, as well as every other weekend. We would like you to be able to work on short notice when needed, due to illness or similar.

Since you will be part of a team of personal assistants selected by and for this specific user, it is important to have a good work ethic where everyone supports each other and can work on short notice when needed, due to illness or similar. We also see that you are available during the summer and holiday periods.
