Personal Assistant: Caregiver, Adventuress (and Potential Actress) Wanted
— Who am I:
My name is Tom, and I am an adventurer and media entrepreneur based on Gotland, Sweden. Following an old motorcycle accident that broke my neck and cost me my left arm, I underwent surgery two years ago that left me a C4 quadriplegic (permanent partial paralysis from the neck down). In the 90s, I founded the Swedish radio station Bandit Rock. I am also a father, writer, and award-winning film director. Your main task will be to help me live as 'normally' as possible despite my new condition. I just completed an arduous round-trip to bring my amazing companion Rocky (a 50 kg Rottweiler) to Sweden from the Philippines. We are currently seeking a dynamic, positive, and capable PA to help with daily tasks and potentially join us on exciting future projects. I also have a philanthropic interest and hope to continue making a positive impact on the world. Google me (Thomas McAlevey) for more information.
— Your Role and Responsibilities:
- Assisting with daily personal care, including hygiene, dressing, and eating
- Managing household tasks such as shopping, cooking, and cleaning
- Supporting the development of new projects, including an off-road wheelchair and a unique accessible adventure RV
- Potentially participating in an adventure film project, which involves traveling and being on camera
- Assisting with physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises, including stretching
- Traveling with me as needed, acting as my 'hands' on trips
- Collaborating with my family, friends, and other assistants as necessary
— Your Qualifications:
- Energetic, quick learner with a positive attitude
- Comfortable with intimate personal care tasks
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple tasks
- Physically strong and able to handle tasks like lifting a 30 kg electric wheelchair
- Free to travel as needed, with a driver's license and a reliable vehicle
- Computer-savvy and fluent in English for potential international travel and projects
- Must love big dogs (I live with my gentle giant Rocky the rockstar)
- Interest or experience in media and adventure is a plus
- Previous experience as a personal assistant or caregiver is preferred but not required
- Ideal for a vibrant young woman with a strong presence and charisma suitable for film projects
This is not just a personal assistant job; it's an opportunity to be part of inspiring and adventurous projects. You’ll be contributing to meaningful initiatives while also having the chance to travel and be part of a potential film project. Life with me is never boring—I'm a perfectionist, a bit OCD, and I never stop talking, but I also get a lot done.
— Employment Details:
- Location: Gotland, Sweden
- Employment Type: Full-time or part-time, with the possibility of travel
- Industry-leading salary depending on qualifications
- Housing can be arranged if needed
