This job is only available for people from countries within the European Union (we do not provide help with work visas overseas). Previous professional experience in a similar position is not required. The company provides full training in this area.
A few words about our client: He is a man around thirty years old who suffers from Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). He is a very active person who works a lot and travels a lot - not only in Norway and Europe, but also around the world. He has several assistants who help him live completely independently and accompany him during work and trips abroad. The job also involves assisting with personal hygiene, so candidates must be comfortable with this.

The average monthly salary starts from 31,000 to a maximum of 40,000 NOK (approx. 2 668 - 3 443 Euros per month). The company sponsors transport to Norway and the first month of accommodation, after which the candidate rents a room at their own expense (the company provides assistance in finding suitable accommodation). More details about the job will be provided to selected candidates during the interview, which will be held as a video conference in English or Norwegian (at the candidate's choice).
Potential candidates must meet the following requirements:

The above job offer is addressed to people who would like to start working in March or April 2025.
Below you will find a few words from the client himself…
Do you love more than you hate?
Do you think more than you feel?
Do you listen more than you speak?
If so, you should read on. Because maybe I am looking for you, and maybe you are looking for me. My name is… Actually, my name is not important. First of all, I am a human being, a man, a brother, an employee, a Norwegian, a friend, an activist, an entrepreneur, a student and many people to many people. The most important thing in all of this is the fact that I am disabled. My body does not function as I would like it to…
As a result, I need assistants, I need to be surrounded by people who can compensate for my imperfect appearance. I am lucky to have been born in a country where assistants are paid to help. So even though I am disabled, I can also contribute to society, I can be a part of it…
Now you should have a clear idea of ​​who I am. On the other hand, who I am is a bit more complicated. I am someone who values ​​uniqueness, someone who, against all reason, loves the human condition, with all its flaws and mistakes. I know I work too much, travel too much, think too much and live too little. So maybe I'm not just looking for an assistant, but maybe a teacher as well. Someone who can teach me how to live...
